Multivariate characterization of white matter heterogeneity in autism spectrum disorder
The complexity and heterogeneity of neuroimaging findings in individuals with autism spectrum disorder has suggested that many of the underlying alterations are subtle and involve many brain regions and networks. The ability to account for multivariate brain features and identify neuroimaging measures that can be used to characterize individual variation have thus become increasingly important ...
متن کاملHuman brain white matter atlas: Identification and assignment of common anatomical structures in superficial white matter
Structural delineation and assignment are the fundamental steps in understanding the anatomy of the human brain. The white matter has been structurally defined in the past only at its core regions (deep white matter). However, the most peripheral white matter areas, which are interleaved between the cortex and the deep white matter, have lacked clear anatomical definitions and parcellations. We...
متن کاملMicrostructural correlations of white matter tracts in the human brain
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether specific patterns of correlation exist in diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters across different white matter tracts in the normal human brain, and whether the relative strengths of these putative microstructural correlations might reflect phylogenetic and functional similarities between tracts. We performed quantitative DTI fiber tracking...
متن کاملCorrelation between R2* and FA in Human Brain White Matter
Introduction: High resolution MRI at 7T suggests that T2* contrast may be sensitive to white matter composition and microstructure [1]. Preliminary histological and MRI results show that the T2* heterogeneity in white matter may be in part reflect its myelin content [2]. In this study, the quantitative correlation between T2* relaxation rate (R2*=1/ T2*) and diffusion fractional anisotropy (FA)...
متن کاملPathological Assessment of Brain White Matter in Relapsing-Remitting MS Patients using Quantitative Magnetization Transfer Imaging
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by lesions in the white matter (WM) of the central nervous system. Magnetic resonance imaging is the most specific and sensitive method for diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. However, the ability of conventional MRI to show histopathologic heterogeneity of MS lesions is insufficient. Quantitative magnetization transfer imaging (qMTI) is a rel...
