Clinical 7T gradients can go fast — but peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) stops you at high-res fMRI. ⚡ Meet POPE 🌍: we reshape EPI pulses to dodge PNS exactly when it spikes → robust 0.3mm fMRI, seeing intracortical veins. 🧠 w/ @SiemensHealth 👉 doi.org/10.64898/202...

Thanks for featuring my article on layer dependent changes across the lifespan, it was indeed unexpected that our layer 4 expands with age. Perhaps this holds therapeutic or preventive potential? Here is the associated link pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
Layer-specific changes in sensory cortex across the lifespan in mice and humans
The segregation of processes into cortical layers is a convergent feature in animal evolution. However, how changes in the cortical layer architecture interact with sensory system function and dysfunction remains unclear. Here we conducted ...

Happy to see this out: our new preprint shows that laminar GE-BOLD fMRI decoding isn’t immune to vascular draining biases. Simulations reveal false positives due to multivariate signal spread across layers, but oversampling + deconvolution can (sometimes) improve specificity.
