I think I missed your overall point?

OP suggests that the spatial resolution of existing MRI neuroimaging capabilities is insufficient to observe or so characterize or so generalize about neuronal activity in mammalian species. fNIRS (functional near-infrared spectroscopy) is one alternative neuroimaging capability that we could compare fMRI with according to the criteria for comparison suggested in the cited Wikipedia article: "temporal resolution, spatial resolution, and the degree of immobility".
