چکیده
of the mean FA skeleton with statistically significant positive (yellow voxels) and negative FA changes (blue voxels) in stroke brains (n=5) with respect to control brains (n=4). (1B). Selection of 2D slices with overlays of the mean FA skeleton (green) in different orientations: transversal (top, middle), sagittal (top, right) and coronal (bottom (3x)), showing the same statistically significant increased or decreased FA voxels in stroke brain. Border: lesion border; M1/2: primary/secondary motor cortex; ic: internal capsule; ac: anterior commissure; ec: external capsule High resolution diffusion tensor imaging of post-stroke white matter integrity in ex vivo rat brain

Evaluation 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 کاملThe Benefits and implementations of Diffusion tensor imaging and Neural Fiber Tractography in Brain Surgery
Background and Aim: The methods for detecting brain activation with fMRI, MRI provides a way to measure the anatomical connections which enable lightning-fast communication among neurons that specialize in different kinds of brain functions. Diffusion tensor imaging is able to measure the direction of bundles of the axonal fibers which are all aligned. Besides mapping white matter fiber tracts,...
متن کاملDirect Visualization of the Perforant Pathway in the Human Brain with Ex Vivo Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Ex vivo magnetic resonance imaging yields high resolution images that reveal detailed cerebral anatomy and explicit cytoarchitecture in the cerebral cortex, subcortical structures, and white matter in the human brain. Our data illustrate neuroanatomical correlates of limbic circuitry with high resolution images at high field. In this report, we have studied ex vivo medial temporal lobe samples ...
متن کاملIn vivo fiber tracking in the rabbit brain on a clinical 3T MRI system
Introduction: The white matter structure of the developing rabbit brain has been studied recently in great detail in vitro by using high-resolution diffusion tensor imaging and tractography [1] with an animal MR scanner. Both the simple structure of the lissencephalic rabbit brain and the reproducibility of ex vivo fiber tracking make the rabbit model a powerful tool for neuroscience investigat...
متن کاملHigh-resolution magnetic resonance microscopy and diffusion tensor imaging to assess brain structural abnormalities in the murine mucopolysaccharidosis VII model.
High-resolution microscopic magnetic resonance imaging (μMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) were performed to characterize brain structural abnormalities in a mouse model of mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII). Microscopic magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a decrease in the volume of anterior commissure and corpus callosum and a slight increase in the volume of the hippocampus i...
