The diffusion time dependence of the brain water diffusion tensor provides information regarding diffusion restriction and hindrance but has received little attention, primarily due to limitations in gradient amplitude available on clinical MRI systems, required to achieve short diffusion times.

## Abstract The hemispheres of the human brain are functionally and structurally asymmetric. The study of structural asymmetries provides important clues to the neuroanatomical basis of lateralized brain functions. Previous studies have demonstrated ageβrelated changes in morphology and diffusion p
## Abstract Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) measures diffusion of molecular water, which can be used to calculate indices of white matter integrity. Early DTI studies of aging primarily focused on two global measures of integrity; the average rate (mean diffusivity, MD) and orientation coherence (fr
## Abstract Our purpose was to quantify structural changes of the temporopolar cortex (TPC) and its white matter (TPWM) in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) using MRI volumetry and texture analysis. We studied 23 patients with hippocampal atrophy, and 20 healthy controls. Gradient magnitude and entropy
## Abstract Early visual deprivation may lead to both abnormal and plastic changes in the visual and other systems of the brain. Such secondary changes in the gray matter of the early blind have been well studied, but not so well in the cerebral white matter whose subtle changes may be revealed by
## Abstract The diffusion tensor (DT) is a threeβdimensional (3D) model of diffusivity in biological tissues. In white matter (WM), the major eigenvector, which is the direction of greatest diffusivity, is generally assumed to align with the direction of the fiber bundles. The distribution of major
