summaryMagnetic resonance imaging is a powerful tool for investigating neuroscience questions. As with any imaging modality, there exists limitations on the achievable spatial and temporal resolution, but these boundaries are continuously being pushed back. Improvements in the spatiotemporal resolution of MR scans can provide better quality data for neuroscience studies, and when certain thresholds are crossed, they can also open up new avenues of investigation that were previously inaccessible. In this talk I will present ongoing work from our group to improve the spatial and temporal resolution of functional and anatomical MR imaging at 3T. Methods from 2D multiband EPI, 3D EPI, and multi-parametric mapping sequences will be discussed, and applications to neuroimaging studies will be presented in areas such as temperature mapping, memory, tonotopy, and R1 maps for myelination determination.
