17 O and 19 F can be administered in sufficient quantities in liquid form (e.g. 17 O -water) that hyperpolarization is not a necessity.
"A Weighted Balance Model of Opinion Hyperpolarization," will appear in print on 30 June 2020 in the Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation.
Cl − causes hyperpolarization within the neuron, decreasing the probability of an action potential firing as the voltage becomes more negative (recall that for an action potential to fire, a positive voltage threshold must be reached).
Improvements to increase MR sensitivity include increasing magnetic field strength, and hyperpolarization via optical pumping or dynamic nuclear polarization.
The highly selective potassium ion channels (which are tetramers ) are crucial for hyperpolarization inside neurons after an action potential is triggered, to cite one example.
