Areas of abnormal white matter in the brains of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients appear much larger on diffusion tensor MRI than on T2-weighted MRI, a finding which could impact therapy options, ...

In both humans and rodents, upper motor neurons (UMNs) are located in the cerebral cortex, whereas lower motor neurons (LMNs) are arranged in the brainstem and spinal cord. Concurrent and/or ...

January 7, 2010 — Results of a new study using diffusion tensor imaging point to the possibility of using hippocampal changes as a neuroradiologic marker of future cognitive decline. Researchers ...

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 ...

It is estimated that one-third of the 50 million people worldwide with epilepsy are resistant to anti-seizure medications.

The weight of scientific evidence demonstrates that “diffusion tensor imaging” is an effective tool for demonstrating damage to the white matter of the brain associated with mild traumatic brain ...

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 ...

For neuroscientists, experimental results converge to help crack the case of how the brain functions. Many animals seem to consume alcohol but likely not for the same reason that humans do. Alcohol ...

A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, personal space is essential to prevent societal collapse, but Universe 25's relevance to humans remains disputed. In this ...

The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York provided another victory for the admissibility of diffusion tensor imaging. Defendant moved in limine to preclude the trial ...
