Abstract
In this article, I will first give a brief account of my work at MGH on characterizing the intravascular susceptibility effect. Then I will describe studies into the underlying physiology of BOLD-fMRI which has become of interest to my group in the following decade. I will touch issues such as signal source of BOLD fMRI, capillary recruitment, the elusive initial dip and others.
