We applied neurite orientation dispersion and density
imaging (NODDI) to estimate the microstructural changes
due to tau pathology in the TG4510 (TG) animal model of
Alzheimers disease (AD). The mouse model overexpresses
a mutant human tau (P301L) resulting in intercellular
tauopathies largely restricted to the hippocampus,
cortex, olfactory bulb, and striatum. NODDI metrics
discriminated between the wild type (WT) and TG is
distinct regions of the brain associated with pathology.
