Magnetization transfer ratio may be a surrogate of spongiform change in human prion diseases.
Human prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders caused by misfolding of the prion protein. There are no useful biomarkers of disease progression. Cerebral cortex spongiform change, one of the classical pathological features of prion disease, resolves in prion-infected transgenic mice following prion protein gene knockout. We investigated the cross-sectional, longitudinal and post-mor...
متن کاملThe ionic DTI model (iDTI) of dynamic diffusion tensor imaging (dDTI)
Measurements of water molecule diffusion along fiber tracts in CNS by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) provides a static map of neural connections between brain centers, but does not capture the electrical activity along axons for these fiber tracts. Here, a modification of the DTI method is presented to enable the mapping of active fibers. It is termed dynamic diffusion tensor imaging (dDTI) and...
متن کاملCross-relaxation imaging reveals detailed anatomy of white matter fiber tracts in the human brain.
Cross-relaxation imaging is a new quantitative MRI modality, which allows mapping of fundamental parameters determining the magnetization transfer (MT) effect in tissues, cross-relaxation rate constant (k) and bound pool fraction (f). This study introduces a new time-efficient technique for cross-relaxation imaging, which obtains three-dimensional (3D) whole-brain k and f maps with scan time of...
متن کاملLong interfascicular axon growth from embryonic neurons transplanted into adult myelinated tracts.
In a previous study we used the species-specific marker M6 to demonstrate that transplanted mouse embryonic hippocampal neurons grow axons at a rate of at least 1 mm/d for a distance of at least 10 mm along the longitudinal axis of the fimbria in immunosuppressed adult rat hosts. We now show that hippocampal neurons are able to grow comparably long interfascicular axons in two other myelinated ...
متن کاملDelay Discounting and Frontostriatal Fiber Tracts: A Combined DTI and MTR Study on Impulsive Choices in Healthy Young Adults
Delay discounting, a measure of impulsive choice, has been associated with decreased control of the prefrontal cortex over striatum responses. The anatomical connectivity between both brain regions in delaying gratification remains unknown. Here, we investigate whether the quality of frontostriatal (FS) white matter tracts can predict individual differences in delay-discounting behavior. We use...
