We report spontaneous hemodynamic activity termed "Spontaneous BOLD Waves" (SBWs) detected by BOLD fMRI in Sprague-Dawley rats under medetomidine anesthesia. These SBWs, which lasted several minutes, were observed in cortex, thalamus and hippocampus. The SBWs' correlates were undetectable in electrophysiological recordings, suggesting an exclusive gliovascular phenomenon dissociated from neuronal activity. SBWs were insensitive to the NMDA receptors antagonist MK-801 but were inhibited by the α1 ...[more]
