This study assessed the relationship between stereoscopic vision, visual perception, and brain microstructure in a cohort of VLBW children at the age of 4 years.
31 Further diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) allows a precise assessment of brain microstructure and has been used to delineate white matter microstructural damage and recovery.
While these studies are important initial steps in the study of white matter microstructure in VCFS and brain-cognition correlations, several were limited, to some extent, by small sample sizes [ 26], wide age ranges [ 25] and a primary focus on FA [ 24- 26].
The relationship between brain microstructure and FA values are likely multifactorial.
Medical consequences of chronic alcoholism on other organs (e.g. alcoholic cirrhosis) may impact both brain microstructure and behavioral performance [25].
In a non-twin study, Penke et al. used diffusion tensor imaging to demonstrate a relationship between brain microstructure and cognitive ability.
This study incorporates the ability to explore the hypothesis that cooler dialysate may be beneficial for brain microstructure and cognitive function.
These sequences allow exploration of brain microstructure and function, specifically: (i) regional and global cortical surface and thickness, (ii) white matter organisation, (iii) structural connectivity of relevant areas and (iv) pre-myelination (T2).
Our analysis has revealed for the first time evidence of defined modifications in the brain microstructure and neuroconnectivity, in co-occurrence with synaptic efficacy alterations, in a murine model of chronic T. gondii infection.
There has been an implicit assumption in medicine that the genesis and evolution of brain tumors and cancers in general have a genetic basis; however, progress in mechanobiology suggests that changes in cell mechanics, alterations in the microstructure of brain tissue, and cellular mechanotransduction may play an equally significant role in the development and progression of brain tumors.
