For years, concussions were described as temporary disruptions in brain function that could not be seen on any medical test.

Diffusion-tensor imaging can be used to observe the microstructure of brain tissue. Fractional anisotropy reflects the integrity of white matter fibers. Fractional anisotropy of a young adult brain is ...

A team of medical scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics has found structural differences in white matter in the human brain that can be linked to genetic variants that may be ...

Flipping through a pile of brain scans, a neurologist or psychiatrist would be hard pressed to pick out the one that belonged to a schizophrenic. Although schizophrenics suffer from profound mental ...

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a newly developed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that analyzes the anatomy of nerve cells and a complex neuronal network of the brain. DTI technique was ...

What is diffusion tensor imaging? Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a relatively new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique designed to estimate the axonal organization of the brain via ...

Scientists know that children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) often have structural brain damage. Yet little is known about how white matter connections, and deep gray matter structures ...

In the current study, the researchers used an MRI method called diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in which the passage of water by diffusion along the white matter bundles of the brain can be traced to ...

Agenesis of the corpus callosum is a rare brain malformation that happens as your baby develops in the womb. It causes varying symptoms and challenges from mild to severe. Many children with this ...
