[edit] HRF in SPM models

We could do with some reference to Statistical_parametric_mapping, since the HRF is key to smoothing the design matrix. Jddriessen 13:26, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

Added references and made small corrections. The part about astrocyte involvement seems to agree with the description in David J Rossi, Another BOLD role for astrocytes: coupling blood flow to neural activity, Nature Neuroscience 9, 159 - 161 (2006) http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/v9/n2/full/nn0206-159.html Except "opening" mGluR, which was plain wrong - it's just binding. The role of nitric oxide synthase was confirmed by (among others) Bojana Stefanovic et al.; Functional uncoupling of hemodynamic from neuronal response by inhibition of neuronal nitric oxide synthase; Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism (2007) 27, 741–754. http://www.nature.com/jcbfm/journal/v27/n4/full/9600377a.html The rest is textbook stuff and can be found in Siesjo, Brain Energy Metabolism, Wiley 1978.
