Functional brain architecture: the potential of diffusion MRI
The potential offered by water diffusion MRI (dMRI), and the future advances that this technique, coupled with functional MRI, will allow as very high field magnets become available, is discussed in an article published in the journal Nature Reviews Neuroscience (Frédéric-Joliot Hospital Service, DRM). Water diffusion MRI is an unrivalled tool for determining the fine architecture of neurone tissue and how this changes during various physiological or pathological states. In particular, it has been used since the early nineties to evaluate the usefulness of treatments after brain ischaemia. In addition, its specific features enable it to follow, with high accuracy, the tissue paths of brain activation during growth and maturation, and when certain tasks are being carried out.
