Resting‐state Functional Connectivity in the Rat Cervical Spinal Cord at 9.4 T

Numerous studies have adopted resting‐state functional MRI methods to infer functional connectivity between cortical regions, but very few have translated them to the spinal cord, despite its critical role in the central nervous system. Resting‐state functional connectivity between gray matter horns of the spinal cord has previously been shown to be detectable in humans and nonhuman primates, but it has not been reported previously in rodents.
