“…Functional MRI (fMRI) has been increasingly applied in the spinal cord to non-invasively map spinal cord neuronal function (Cohen-Adad, 2017; Haynes et al, 2023; Landelle et al, 2021; Powers et al, 2018). Spinal cord fMRI conducted in healthy volunteers have investigated neuronal activation induced by a wide range of tasks and stimuli, including upper extremity motor task (Govers et al, 2007; Kinany et al, 2019; Stroman et al, 1999; Weber et al, 2016b), thermal stimulation (Bosma & Stroman, 2015; Rempe et al, 2015; Weber et al, 2016a, 2018), tactile stimulation (Brooks et al, 2012; Kornelsen et al, 2013; Summers et al, 2010; Weber et al, 2020), noxious stimuli (Brooks et al, 2012; Summers et al, 2010; Tinnermann et al, 2021), and sexual arousal (Alexander et al, 2016; Kozyrev et al, 2012).…”
