Abstract
In this work, we investigated the link between the blood-oxygen-level dependant (BOLD) effect observed using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and the neurite density inferred from the Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging (NODDI) model in some well-known lateralized cortical areas. We found a strong colocalization between those two parameters in lateralized areas such as the primary motor cortex, the language network, but also the primary visual cortex, which might indicate a strong link between microstructure and functional activity.
