Diffusion MRI remains the most comprehensive reference for understanding this rapidly evolving and powerful technology and is an essential handbook for designing, analyzing, and interpreting diffusion MR experiments.

Diffusion imaging provides a unique window on human brain anatomy. This non-invasive technique continues to grow in popularity as a way to study brain pathways that could never before be investigated in vivo.

This book covers the fundamental theory of diffusion imaging, discusses its most promising applications to basic and clinical neuroscience, and introduces cutting-edge methodological developments that will shape the field in coming years. Written by leading experts in the field, it places the exciting new results emerging from diffusion imaging in the context of classical anatomical techniques to show where diffusion studies might offer unique insights and where potential limitations lie.

Heidi Johansen-Berg is a Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellow and Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the Nuffield Dept of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford. Since 2015, Heidi has been the Director of the Oxford Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain (FMRIB), a multidisciplinary research centre dedicated to the use of non-invasive neuroimaging in basic and clinical neuroscience research. Heidi’s own research is focused on brain plasticity, with particular interest in how the brain changes when we learn new skills or recover from damage such as stroke. Her group tackles these questions using brain imaging and stimulation methods in both humans and rodents. Timothy E.J. Behrens FRS is a British neuroscientist. He is Deputy Director of the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Professor of Computational Neuroscience at the University of Oxford, and Honorary Lecturer, Wellcome Centre for Imaging Neuroscience, University College London

Reviews for Diffusion MRI: From Quantitative Measurement to In vivo Neuroanatomy

A thorough and exciting review of the diffusion MRI techniques that are going to rewrite our knowledge of the long tract anatomy of the human brain. Extremely well written and illustrated. - Michael S. Gazzaniga, Director, Sage Center for the Study of Mind, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA 25 years after its debut, diffusion MRI today provides us with beautiful, marvelous images of connecting wires within the human brain, and this is achieved just by placing healthy subjects or patients in the middle of a strong magnet. How is this miracle possible? What could we expect from the knowledge of the brain connectome? This beautifully illustrated book addresses these questions with great clarity. The book is highly recommendable to all those who are interested in the links between brain structure and function. - Denis Le Bihan, Member of the Institut de France, Academy of Sciences; Director, NeuroSpin; CEA-Saclay Center, Gif-sur-Yvette, France Unbelievable as it may seem, we know almost nothing about the real connectivity of the human cerebral cortex.What we think we know is mostly inferred from results obtained in the monkey.This book provides an exciting exploration of diffusion tensor imaging, a method that can start to close this gap.The editors, who are themselves pioneers in this field, have assembled authoritative chapters on the promises that lie ahead and the challenges that will be encountered. - Marsel Mesulam, Ruth and Evelyn Dunbar Professor of Neurology, Psychiatry and Psychology; Director, The Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center (CNADC), Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, USA Diffusion MRI has tremendous potential for elucidating brain structure and circuitry in health and disease, but the approach is fraught withmethodological and interpretational challenges. This excellent and authoritative book edited by Johansen-Berg and Behrens is an invaluable resource for everyone using diffu
