The purpose of this work is to outline a quantitative framework for interpreting the primarily correlative relationships that have very recently been reported between blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrast and ongoing inhibitory neuronal activity measured by baseline γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) concentration.
