Abstract: Objective Interpretation of diffusion MRI in the living brain requires validation against gold standard histological measures. We compared diffusion values of the nigrostriatal tract to PET and histological results in non-human primates (NHPs) with varying… read more here.

Abstract: Background: MRI is a valuable method to assist in the diagnostic work-up of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The olfactory tract (OT) has been proposed as a potential MRI biomarker for distinguishing PD patients from healthy controls.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/brainsci13030391
Abstract: The pathology of Parkinson’s disease (PD) involves the death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN), which slowly influences downstream basal ganglia pathways as dopamine transport diminishes. Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been… read more here.
