Advanced microstructural models of diffusion imaging
(dMRI) have the potential to quantify microstructural
changes and map connections. However, these models have
been difficult to validate against a biological gold
standard due to the limitation of histological
techniques, which require physical cutting of the tissue
to view changes two-dimensionally. An exciting new
technique called CLARITY has shown that by dissolving
the lipids in a volume of brain tissue, it is now
possible to study neuroanatomy, especially connectivity,
in three dimensions. In this project, adult human
hippocampal tissue processed with CLARITY is used to
validate microstructural dMRI models.
