Activation Energies for Water Diffusion in ex-vivo White Matter
Introduction: Diffusion in brain tissue is well known to be non-Gaussian, resulting in major efforts to understand the biophysical basis of water mobility in such tissues [1]. This study aims to understand the energetics of differently diffusing components by quantification of their respective activation energies. When temperature is varied, self-diffusion in pure liquids follows the Arrhenius ...
متن کاملEvaluation of White Matter Tracts in Autistic Individuals: A Review of Diffusion Tensor Imaging Studies
Introduction: Many cognitive and social deficits in autism are caused by abnormal functional connections between brain networks, which are manifested by impaired integrity of white matter tracts. White matter tracts are like the "highways" of the brain, which allow fast and efficient communication in different areas of the brain. The purpose of this article is to review the results of autism st...
متن کاملRestricted diffusion in vanishing white matter.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the occurrence of restricted diffusion in vanishing white matter, the affected structures,the time of occurrence in the disease course, and the histopathologic correlate. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. PATIENTS Forty-six patients with vanishing white matter. SETTING VU University Medical Center. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES We evaluated all available diffusi...
متن کاملAccelerated changes in white matter microstructure during aging: a longitudinal diffusion tensor imaging study.
It is well established that human brain white matter structure changes with aging, but the timescale and spatial distribution of this change remain uncertain. Cross-sectional diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies indicate that, after a period of relative stability during adulthood, there is an accelerated decline in anisotropy and increase in diffusivity values during senescence; and, spatiall...
متن کاملMemory training impacts short-term changes in aging white matter: a longitudinal diffusion tensor imaging study.
A growing body of research indicates benefits of cognitive training in older adults, but the neuronal mechanisms underlying the effect of cognitive intervention remains largely unexplored. Neuroimaging methods are sensitive to subtle changes in brain structure and show potential for enhancing our understanding of both aging- and training-related neuronal plasticity. Specifically, studies using ...
