    Abstract Objective: Blood-oxygen-level-dependent functional MRI allows to investigte neural activities and connectivity. While the non-human primate plays an essential role in neuroscience research, multimodal methods combining functional MRI with other neuroimaging and neuromodulation enable us to understand the brain network at multiple scales.
    Approach: In this study, a tight-fitting helmet-shape receive array with a single transmit loop for anesthetized macaque brain MRI at 7T was fabricated with four openings constructed in the coil housing to accommodate multimodal devices, and the coil performance was quantitatively evaluated and compared to a commercial knee coil. In addition, experiments over three macaques with infrared neural stimulation (INS), focused ultrasound stimulation (FUS), and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) were conducted.
    Main results: The RF coil showed higher transmit efficiency, comparable homogeneity, improved SNR and enlarged signal coverage over the macaque brain. Infrared neural stimulation was applied to the amygdala in deep brain region, and activations in stimulation sites and connected sites were detected, with the connectivity consistent with anatomical information. Focused ultrasound stimulation was applied to the left visual cortex, and activations were acquired along the ultrasound traveling path, with all time course curves consistent with pre-designed paradigms. The existence of transcranial direct current stimulation electrodes brought no interference to the RF system, as evidenced through high-resolution MPRAGE structure images.
    Significance: This pilot study reveals the feasibility for brain investigation at multiple spatiotemporal scales, which may advance our understanding in dynamic brain networks.

    Abstract Combining multimodal approaches with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has catapulted the research on brain circuitries of non-human primates (NHPs) into a new era. However, many studies are constrained by a lack of appropriate RF coils. In this study, a single loop transmit and 16-channel receive array coil was constructed for brain imaging of macaques at 7 Tesla (7 T). The 16 receive channels were mounted on a 3D-printed helmet-shaped form closely fitting the macaque head, with fourteen openings arranged for multimodal devices around the cortical regions. Coil performance was evaluated by quantifying and comparing signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) maps, noise correlations, g-factor maps and flip-angle maps with a 28-channel commercial knee coil. The in vivo results suggested that the macaque coil has higher SNR in cortical regions and better acceleration ability in parallel imaging, which may benefit revealing mesoscale organizations in the brain.

    Abstract Non-human primates (NHPs) are vital models for neuroscience research. These animals have been widely used in behavioral, electrophysiological, molecular, and more recently, multimodal neuroimaging and neuro-engineering studies. Several RF coil arrays have been designed for functional, high-resolution brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but few have been designed to accommodate multimodal devices. In the present study, a 16-channel array coil was constructed for brain imaging of macaques at 3 Tesla (3 T). To construct this coil, a close-fitting helmet-shaped form was designed to host 16 coil loops for whole-brain coverage. This assembly is mountable onto stereotaxic head frame bars, and the coil functions while the monkey is in the sphinx position with a clear line of vision of stimuli presented from outside of the MRI system. In addition, 4 openings were allocated in the coil housing, allowing multimodal devices to directly access visual cortical regions such as V1-V4 and MT. Coil performance was evaluated in an anesthetized macaque by quantifying and comparing signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), noise correlations, and g-factor maps to a vendor-supplied human pediatric coil frequently used for NHP MRI. The result from in vivo experiments showed that the NHP coil was well-decoupled, had higher SNRs in cortical regions, and improved data acquisition acceleration capability compared with a vendor-supplied human pediatric coil that has been frequently used in macaque MRI studies. Furthermore, whole-brain anatomic imaging, diffusion tensor imaging and functional brain imaging have also been conducted: the details of brain anatomical structure, such as cerebellum and brainstem, can be clearly visualized in T2-SPACE images; b0 SNR calculated from b0 maps was higher than the human pediatric coil in all regions of interest (ROIs); the time-course SNR (tSNR) map calculated for GRE-EPI images demonstrates that the presented coil can be used for high-resolution functional imaging at 3 T.

    Abstract Objective: The purpose of the present study was to fabricate a novel RF coil exclusively for visualizing submillimeter tissue structure and probing neuronal activity in cerebral cortex over anesthetized and awake animals on 7T human scanners.
    Methods: A novel RF coil design has been proposed for visualizing submillimeter tissue structure and probing neuronal activity in cerebral cortex over anesthetized and awake animals on 7T human scanners: a local transmit coil was utilized to save space for auxiliary device installation; 16 receive-only loops were densely arranged over a 5 cm-diameter circular area, with a diameter of 1.3 cm for each loop.
    Results: In anesthetized macaque experiments, 60 μm T
    Conclusion: The promising brain imaging results along with flexibility in various size use of the presented design can be an effective and maneuverable solution to take one step close towards mesoscale cortical-related imaging.
    Significance: High-spatial-resolution brain imaging over large animals by using ultra-high-field (UHF) MRI will be helpful to understand and reveal functional brain organizations and the underlying mechanism in diseases.
