## Abstract Studies of the effects of hypoglycemia on the brain using neurocognitive testing have suggested that mainly complex functions subserved by secondary and tertiary cortex are affected by mild to moderate hypoglycemia and that intensively treated patients with Type I diabetes mellitus (T1D

Abstract
The objective of the present article is to provide an introduction to the most widely used method of imaging the functional neuroanatomy of the human brain. The inferential relationship between neural activation and a magnetic resonance signal change is described in detail. The contrast between an active state and a baseline depends on an increased ratio of oxyhemoglobin to deoxyhemoglobin, a longer transverse relaxation time (T), decreased levels of paramagnetically induced dephasing, and a consequently stronger signal in the active state. Issues pertaining to image interpretation, spatial and temporal resolution, and image stability are described. Β© 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Concepts Magn Reson 16A: 5β15, 2003

A novel noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method was developed to determine in vivo blood oxygen saturation and its changes during motor cortex activation in small cerebral veins. Specifically, based on susceptibility measurements in the resting states, pial veins were found to have a mea
