• Urine storage and emptying is a complex physiologic process under the control of the central nervous system • The micturition pathway has been studied through various functional brain imaging studies • However, how brain activity changes as bladder volume and bladder sensations change remains unclear • The aim of our study is to quantify cerebral perfusion and change in brain activity in healthy subjects during bladder filling
