Description	This chapter explores the use of arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure cerebral blood flow (CBF) in rat models of psychopathology and psychopharmacological interventions. It provides a comprehensive overview of ASL as a non-invasive technique that uses blood as an endogenous tracer, offering high-quality perfusion images without the need for contrast agents.
