Multidimensional diffusion MRI: A new tool for studying brain microstructure and the effects of learning

Lund University, Chemistry, Sweden
Multidimensional diffusion MRI is a promising new MRI approach that has the potential to non-invasively give information about brain microstructure at an unprecedented level of detail. Here I briefly review the salient features of the new method, its historical background and differences with conventional methods, as well as the remaining challenges that have to be overcome in order to make it applicable in learning studies.
