Regional variation models of white matter microstructure
Diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) is a powerful in vivo imaging technique that is particularly sensitive to the underlying microstructure of white matter tissue in the brain. Many models of the DW-MRI signal exist that allow us to relate the signals we measure to various aspects of the tissue structure, including measures of diffusivity, cellularity and even axon size. From histology, we know tha...
متن کاملWhite Matter Abnormalities and Animal Models Examining a Putative Role of Altered White Matter in Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder affecting about 1% of the population worldwide. Although the dopamine (DA) hypothesis is still keeping a dominant position in schizophrenia research, new advances have been emerging in recent years, which suggest the implication of white matter abnormalities in schizophrenia. In this paper, we will briefly review some of recent human studies showing whi...
متن کاملattenuation of brain white matter lesions after lacunar stroke
white matter lesions (wmls) are commonly observed in strokepatients with small vessel disease (svd) and are thought toresult from a progressive, irreversible disease process followingarteriolosclerosis. in this study, we report a case of partialdisappearance of wmls 1 year after a lacunar stroke in a69-year-old man with evidence of svd. we also discuss possiblemechanisms associated with this ob...
متن کاملDesign and Validation of Diffusion MRI Models of White Matter
Diffusion MRI is arguably the method of choice for characterizing white matter microstructure in vivo. Over the typical duration of diffusion encoding, the displacement of water molecules is conveniently on a length scale similar to that of the underlying cellular structures. Moreover, water molecules in white matter are largely compartmentalized which enables biologically-inspired compartmenta...
متن کاملEvaluating the Accuracy of Diffusion MRI Models in White Matter
Models of diffusion MRI within a voxel are useful for making inferences about the properties of the tissue and inferring fiber orientation distribution used by tractography algorithms. A useful model must fit the data accurately. However, evaluations of model-accuracy of commonly used models have not been published before. Here, we evaluate model-accuracy of the two main classes of diffusion MR...
