title: ATP consumption and neural electrical activity: a physiological model for brain imaging.
abstract: The relation between neural electrical activity and oxygen consumption is the key issue in almost all brain image modalities based on perfusion. Despite the large amount of physiological information available in the literature about the processes involved in neural activation, a practical, tractable and simultaneously accurate mathematical model to describe this relation is needed.
