Diffusion MRI (dMRI) is a unique tool for the study of brain circuitry, as it allows us to image
both the macroscopic trajectories and the microstructural properties of axon bundles in vivo …

Bone's remarkable mechanical properties are a result of its hierarchical structure. The
mineralized collagen fibrils, made up of collagen fibrils and crystal platelets, are bone's …

Diffusion MRI is an exquisitely sensitive probe of tissue microstructure, and is currently the
only non-invasive measure of the brain's fibre architecture. As this technique becomes more …

Historically, the primary focus of studies of human white matter tracts has been on large
tracts that connect anterior-to-posterior cortical regions. These include the superior …

While hippocampal connectivity is essential to normal memory function, our knowledge of
human hippocampal circuitry is largely inferred from animal studies. Using polarized light …

The combination of polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) and
birefringence microscopy (BRM) enables multiscale assessment of myelinated axons in …

The polarimetric techniques are used in various biomedical applications for a non-contact
and fast diagnosis of tissue that is known as optical biopsy approach. These optical …

Research of the human brain connectome requires multiscale approaches derived from
independent imaging methods ideally applied to the same object. Hence, comprehensible …

A complete structural definition of the human nervous system must include delineation of its
wiring diagram (eg, Swanson LW. Brain architecture: understanding the basic plan, 2012) …

A GPU-based tool to generate realistic phantoms of the brain microstructure is presented.
Using a spherical meshing technique which decomposes each microstructural item into a …
