BOLD fMRI combined with optogenetics allows for brain-wide neural network studies. Most studies have focused on activity of excitatory neurons, which is presumably to contribute BOLD fMRI dominantly. However, fMRI response evoked by inhibitory neural activities is unknown. Here, we investigated 15.2T BOLD response of optogenetically stimulated GABAergic neural activation, and verified the results with electrophysiology.
