DTI FIBER TRACKING OF THE NIGRO-STRIATAL FIBER TRACT IN THE MONKEY BRAIN 7T

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 在非人类灵长类动物模型中发展高分辨率扩散张量成像(DTI)和扩散光谱成像(DSI)能力。本研究的目的是：1)通过与纤维束的组织学重建进行比较，验证DTI/DSI纤维跟踪算法。2)为了确定高分辨率弥散加权图像是否可以成像基底节回路内的小纤维束。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Development of high-resolution diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) capabilities in the non-human primate model. The aim of this study will be to 1) validate DTI/DSI fiber tracking algorithms by comparing to histological reconstructions of the fiber tracts. 2) To determine whether high-resolution diffusion-weighted images fiber tracking can image small fiber tracts within the basal ganglia circuits.
