Description
Recent advancements in MRI technology such as Ultra-High field (UHF) MRI at7 Teslas allow for unprecedented exploration of the brain’s mesoscalestructures. They offer insights into how sensory, perceptual, and cognitiveprocesses are implemented in cortical layers. This breakout session will explorethe importance of layer-specific research. It also showcases recent successes inusing layer-specific MRI research to study the visual cortex (its functionalorganization and its response to sensory deprivation). This breakout emphasizesthe promise of layer-specific MRI techniques in advancing knowledge of humanbrain organization and plasticity.
