Diffusion MRI remains the most comprehensive reference for understanding this rapidly evolving and powerful technology and is an essential handbook for designing, analyzing, and interpreting diffusion MR experiments.

Diffusion imaging provides a unique window on human brain anatomy. This non-invasive technique continues to grow in popularity as a way to study brain pathways that could never before be investigated in vivo.

This book covers the fundamental theory of diffusion imaging, discusses its most promising applications to basic and clinical neuroscience, and introduces cutting-edge methodological developments that will shape the field in coming years. Written by leading experts in the field, it places the exciting new results emerging from diffusion imaging in the context of classical anatomical techniques to show where diffusion studies might offer unique insights and where potential limitations lie.

Zielgruppe

Neuroscientists interested in the study of connections in the brain, brain imaging, within Cognitive Neuroscience, Neuroscience, Radiology, Medical Physics and adjacent areas.

Johansen-Berg, Heidi
Heidi Johansen-Berg is a Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellow and Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the Nuffield Dept of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford. Since 2015, Heidi has been the Director of the Oxford Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain (FMRIB), a multidisciplinary research centre dedicated to the use of non-invasive neuroimaging in basic and clinical neuroscience research. Heidi's own research is focused on brain plasticity, with particular interest in how the brain changes when we learn new skills or recover from damage such as stroke. Her group tackles these questions using brain imaging and stimulation methods in both humans and rodents.
