46. The spectrum of the light reflected from the cortex depends on (i) the spectra of the intrinsic chromophores, (ii) their concentration, and (iii) the distance the light travels in the medium. In a scattering medium like cortical tissue, this path length depends on both the scattering and the absorption properties. It is therefore wavelength-dependent Malonek and Crinvald have used a simplified linear equation in which the path length was assumed constant, and with their simplified model, the initial dip was observed in the anesthetized cat (8) and the awake behaving primate (E. Shtoyerman, I. Vanzetta, A. Grinvald, unpublished data). An alternative, more rigorous approach has been proposed recently by Mayhew and colleagues; the initial dip was also observed in the rat whisker barrel system using their model, after subtraction of the vasomotion signals (12). We also analyzed several data sets from different species at the full wavelength range using a more rigorous algorithm similar to that proposed by Mayhew. We found that the initial dip persisted or disappeared depending on the parameters used in the model, and the residuals of the curve fitting could not be used as reliable criteria for the validity of the model parameters [U. Lindauer et al., Neurosci. Abstr. 25, 1639 (1999)].

58. All surgical and experimental procedures were in accordance with NIH guidelines. Details are described elsewhere (7, 8). Cats were anesthetized during the recording phase with continuous infusion of sodium pentothal. A craniotomy overlying area 18 of the visual cortex was performed and the dura removed. Stimulation protocol: (i) blank screen (prestimulus time, 1.5 to 5 s); (ii) moving gratings for 4 s (high contrast, 0.2 cycles per degree, duty cycle = 0.3, 6 cycles per second), and (iii) a blank screen (poststimulus time, at least 30 s). Up to % such trials were averaged.
59. E. H. Ratzlaff and A. Grinvald, J. Neurosci. Methods 36, 127 (1991). Instead of a tungsten halogen lamp, we used a flash lamp (flash lamp model LABPAC 1200 power supply, with trigger unit LITE-PAC FYD-1150 and flashtube FX-1150, providing a flash of 3 μs exponential decay time; EG&G Electro Optics, Salem, MA).

61. The other factors affecting the phosphorescence decay time are temperature, salinity, and pH. By their nature, salinity and temperature changes are much slower than the phenomenon under examination. The upper limit for a pH change should be smaller than the arterovenous pH difference of ΔpH = 0.03. Using pH calibration data (17), the effect of ΔpH (pH = 7.4 was taken as the resting pH) on the decay time is negligible, about 7% of the difference we observed during the deoxygenation phase. The initial dip detected with phosphorescence decay time measurements cannot be attributed to blood volume rearrangements among microvascular compartments, because the latter's onset is delayed by ∼500 ms (Fig. 2B, inset). In addition, in those high-resolution volume measurements (4 μm), the volume increase observed in venules and veins was neither faster nor larger than in the other compartments. Previous (7, 79) and recent (I. Vanzetta, R. Hildesheim, A. Grinvald, unpublished data) fluorescent tracer imaging measurements confirmed these results. The visualization of a stimulus-dependent increase in red blood cell velocity in individual capillaries [D. Weinfeld, P. P. Mitra, F. Helmchen, W. Denk, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 95, 15741 (1998)], also showed that the flow increase starts late (> ∼0.5 s).

63. 3 = 7%. These large differences underscore the inherent ambiguities of multiexponential analysis [(3O) and references therein]. Adding constraints to some of the parameters that can be obtained from independent measurements should allow more quantitative analysis.

73. It has been argued on theoretical (24) as well as experimental grounds (comparing the amplitude of the dip at 1.5 and 4 T) that the amplitude of the initial dip seen with fMRI depends on the second power of the field strength (K. Ugurbil, personal communication).

As with optical imaging, the fMRI BOLD signals are composed of (i) a "local" component, most likely originating from the capillaries situated in the parenchyma, carrying the stimulus' specificity; and (ii) a component originating from other sources, such as large veins, having more global diffuse character. For this reason, differential imaging comparing the activation patterns of different stimuli known to activate "orthogonal" cortical regions enables the enhancement of the signals' local component while getting rid of the global component.
