[Abstract] This review describes the present status of the technological development and neuroscience application of BOLD-fMRI on small animals. Also, a using of small animals in exploring bloodless fMRI techniques is briefly introduced as well. Extremely high magnet is essential and small animals require anesthesia during fMRI data acquisition. In spite of such limitations, impressive contributions having been made by small animal fMRI studies in neuroscience and neuropharmacology fields have gained great attention in brain research community to realize its potential.
