Shulman and Rothman PNAS, 1998
In this period of intense research in the neurosciences, nothing is more promising than
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET)
methods, which localize brain activities. These functional imaging methodologies map
neurophysiological responses to cognitive, emotional, or sensory stimulations. The rapid
experimental progress made by using these methods has encouraged widespread optimism
about our ability to understand the activities of the mind on a biological basis. However, the
relationship between the signal and neurobiological processes related to function is poorly
understood, because the functional imaging signal is not a direct measure of neuronal
processes related to information transfer, such as action potentials and neurotransmitter
release. Rather, the intensity of the imaging signal is related to neurophysiological
parameters of energy consumption and blood flow. To relate the imaging signal to specific
neuronal processes, two relationships must be established…
The first relationship is between the intensity of the imaging signal and the rate of
neurophysiological energy processes, such as the cerebral metabolic rates of glucose
(CMRglc) and of oxygen (CMRO2).
The second and previously unavailable relationship is between the neurophysiological
processes and the activity of neuronal processes. It is necessary to understand these
relationships to directly relate functional imaging studies to neurobiological research that
seeks the relationship between the regional activity of specific neuronal processes and
mental processes.

Proposed pathway of glutamate / glutamine neurotransmitter cycling between neurons and glia, whose flux has
been quantitated recently by 13C MRS experiments. Action potentials reaching the presynaptic neuron cause
release of vesicular glutamate into the synaptic cleft, where it is recognized by glutamate receptors post-synaptically
and is cleared by Na+ -coupled transport into glia. There it is converted enzymatically to glutamine, which passively
diffuses back to the neuron and, after reconversion to glutamate, is repackaged into vesicles. The rate of the
glutamate-to-glutamine step in this cycle (Vcycle), has been derived from recent 13C experiments.

Spatial co-localization?
Whisker Barrel Model
How neuronal activity changes cerebral blood flow is of biological and practical
importance. The rodent whisker-barrel system has special merits as a model for studies
of changes in local cerebral blood flow (LCBF).
Whisker-activated changes in flow were measured with intravascular markers at the pia.
LCBF changes were always prompt and localized over the appropriate barrel. Stimulusrelated changes in parenchymal flow monitored continuously with H2 electrodes
recorded short latency flow changes initiated in middle cortical layers. Activation that
increased flow to particular barrels often led to reduced flow to adjacent cortex.
The matching between a capillary plexus (a vascular module) and a barrel (a functional
neuronal unit) is a spatial organization of neurons and blood vessels that optimizes local
interactions between the two. The paths of communication probably include: neurons to
neurons, neurons to glia, neurons to vessels, glia to vessels, vessels to vessels and
vessels to brain. Matching a functional grouping of neurons with a vascular module is
an elegant means of reducing the risk of embarrassment for energy-expensive neuronal
activity (ion pumping) while minimizing energy spent for delivery of the energy
(cardiac output). For imaging studies this organization sets biological limits to spatial,
temporal and magnitude resolution. Reduced flow to nearby inactive cortex enhances
local differences
