Cuprizone is a mitochondrial toxin that induces
apoptosis of oligodendrocytes and demyelination in the
central nervous system, and is used for animal model of
de- and re-myelination in multiple sclerosis. Recently,
manganese enhanced MRI (MEMRI) is utilized to reveal the
mechanisms of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative
disorders, especially it enhances image contrast of the
glial (astrocytes and microglia) activations in the
pathological conditions. In this study, we investigated
manganese contrast enhancement in cuprizone induced
demyelinated mouse brain using 11.7T ultra high field
MRI, and analyzed with histology and glial marker
expressions.
