Both post-mortem and neuroimaging studies have contributed significantly to what we know
about the brain and schizophrenia. MRI studies of volumetric reduction in several brain …

Magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a non-invasive in vivo method for
characterizing the integrity of anatomical connections and white matter circuitry and provides …

This chapter examines neurobiological development in normal and illustrative high‐risk
conditions and mental disorders. It reviews relevant findings on neural plasticity and their …

The anisotropy of water diffusion in brain tissue is affected by both disease and
development. This change can be detected using diffusion MRI and is often quantified by the …

While functional brain imaging methods can locate the cortical regions subserving particular
cognitive functions, the connectivity between the functional areas of the human brain …

In this paper, we present a novel deformable registration algorithm for diffusion tensor MR
images that enables explicit optimization of tensor reorientation. The optimization seeks a …

The chronic, excessive consumption of alcohol results in significant modification of selective
neural systems of the brain structure, physiology, and function. Quantitative MR structural …

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and perfusion MR imaging are
advanced techniques that provide information not available from conventional MR imaging …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies in schizophrenia demonstrate lower anisotropic
diffusion within white matter due either to loss of coherence of white matter fiber tracts, to …

In vivo study of white matter microstructural integrity through magnetic resonance diffusion
tensor imaging (DTI) permits examination of degradation of axonal circuitry that may …
