Q&A: What is BOLD? | Royal Society

The latest theme issue of Philosophical Transactions B brings together the latest research on the use and interpretation of BOLD.

The latest theme issue of Philosophical Transactions B brings together cognitive and cellular neuroscientists to showcase the latest research on the use and interpretation of BOLD, an important tool used in studying brain function in humans. What is BOLD and how does it work? Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) imaging is a technique that is commonly used for measuring brain activity in humans using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Blood supplies oxygen to brain cells. When these cells are active, there is an increase in blood flow and blood oxygen in the surrounding area. BOLD imaging u
