This study utilizes DTI and graph theory as a novel way for early detection of pathology and connectivity changes related to Alzheimer’s Disease. As a function of phenotype, age and sex, DTI studies were performed on APP/PS1 mouse brains and age-matched wild type controls at 11.75 T. Current hemisphere-dependentdata shows differences between hemispheres within age and phenotype for the parameters observed.
