White matter injury in the neonatal brain is characterized by lifelong abnormalities in motor control and plasticity. In vivo assessment of experimental interventions are necessary for the development of novel preventive therapies which are currently lacking. We tested multi direction (64 directions) and multiple b-values (0, 900, 1800 sec/mm2) DTI as a means to monitor changes and progression of neurological disorders and reorganization following HI injury in a mouse model overexpressing microRNA-21.
