activation can be evaluated by a bimodal fMRI protocol that utilizes
hemodynamics based fMRI and manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) in combination.
The present study demonstrates a striatal CBV response accompanied by
enhanced nigrostriatal activity detected by MEMRI following peripheral
electrical stimulation.
