Miller, Corin O'Dell (2015-07-17)Department: Interdisciplinary Studies: Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopic MethodologyGlycogen is the primary tissue storage form of carbohydrates and plays in integral role in whole body glucose homeostasis, yet remains difficult to measure without invasive biopsies. A novel non-invasive approach to measure ...

Cook, Ryan; Elder, Christopher; Damon, Bruce (Vanderbilt University, 2008-09-10)This poster explores the spatial and temporal pattern of muscle activation during stationary cycling using surface EMG (Electromyography) and mfMRI (Muscle functional MRI). Two females and two males, all four recreationally ...
