Diffusion spectrum imaging tracks the:
A)changes in blood flow due to neural activity.
B)electrical activity of neurons produced by postsynaptic potentials.
C)magnetic fields produced by action potentials of neurons.
D)movement of water molecules in brain tissue along the axons.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) tracks the movement of water molecules in brain tissue along the axons, allowing for the visualization of white matter pathways in the brain. DSI is a type of diffusion MRI, which measures the diffusion of water molecules in different directions to infer the microstructure of tissues. It is often used in neuroimaging research to study brain connectivity and understand the organization of the brain's neuronal networks. A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not pertain to DSI.
