CA1 pyramidal neuron: calculation of MRI signals (Cassara et al. 2008)


NEURON mod files from the paper: Cassarà AM, Hagberg GE, Bianciardi M, Migliore M, Maraviglia B. Realistic simulations of neuronal activity: A contribution to the debate on direct detection of neuronal currents by MRI. Neuroimage. 39:87-106 (2008). In this paper, we use a detailed calculation of the magnetic field produced by the neuronal currents propagating over a hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neuron placed inside a cubic MR voxel of length 1.2 mm to estimate the Magnetic Resonance signal.
