AbstractOur understanding of the human brain relies on advancing noninvasive brain imaging approaches. Characterization of the function of brain circuitry depends on the spatiotemporal correspondence at which recorded signals can be mapped onto underlying neuronal structures and processes. Here we aimed to address key first-stage questions of feasibility, reliability, and utility of line-scanning fMRI as a next generation non-invasive imaging method for human neuroscience research at the mesoscopic scale. Line-scanning can achieve high spatial resolution by employing anisotropic voxels aligned to cortical layers. The method can simultaneously achieve high temporal resolution by limiting acquisition to a very small patch of cortex which is repeatedly acquired as a single frequency-encoded k-space line. We developed multi-echo line-scanning procedures to record cortical layers in humans at high spatial (200 μm) and temporal resolution (100 ms) using ultra high-field 7T fMRI. Quantitative mapping allowed us to identify cortical layers in primary visual cortex (V1) and record functional signals from them while participants viewed movie clips. Analysis of these recordings revealed layer-specific V1 spatial and orientation tuning properties analogous to those previously observed in electrophysiological recordings of non-human primates. We have consequently demonstrated that line-scanning is a powerful non-invasive imaging technique for investigating mesoscopic functional circuits in human cortex.Graphical Abstract

We have developed a new X-ray microscope which produces complete three dimensional images of samples. The microscope operates by performing X-ray tomography with unprecedented resolution. Tomography is a non-invasive imaging technique that creates maps of the internal structure of samples from measurement of the attenuation of penetrating radiation. As conventionally practiced in medical Computed Tomography (CT), radiologists produce maps of bone and tissue structure in several planar sections that reveal features with 1mm resolution and 1% contrast. Microtomography extends the capability of CT in several ways. First, the resolution which approaches one micron, is one thousand times higher than that of the medical CT. Second, our approach acquires and analyses the data in a panoramic imaging format that directly produces three-dimensional maps in a series of contiguous stacked planes. Typical maps available today consist of three hundred planar sections each containing 512x512 pixels. Finally, and perhaps of most import scientifically, microtomography using a synchrotron X-ray source, allows us to generate maps of individual element.
