We have applied the recently developed MAP-MRI framework
to the investigation of brain injury. MAP-MRI provides
an analytic representation of the diffusion propagator
and a series of novel diffusion-MRI stains that
quantify non-Gaussian water diffusion. The combination
of this recent advance in diffusion modeling and the
ability to quickly image fixed tissue at high spatial
resolution has allowed us to identify new markers of
microstructural change in the mouse cortex following
controlled cortical impact and to characterize the
spatio-temporal profiles of these abnormalities from 24
hours to 3 months following injury.
