TL;DR: The spatial and topological centrality of the core within cortex suggests an important role in functional integration and a substantial correspondence between structural connectivity and resting-state functional connectivity measured in the same participants.

TL;DR: To test whether a geodesic, high b‐value diffusion gradient sampling scheme could resolve multiple fiber orientations within a single voxel, the diffusion signal was modeled as arising from a discrete mixture of Gaussian diffusion processes in slow exchange, and the underlying mixture of tensors was solved for using a gradient descent scheme.

TL;DR: Methods are presented to map complex fiber architectures in tissues by imaging the 3D spectra of tissue water diffusion with MR, showing correspondence between the orientational maxima of the diffusion spectrum and those of the fiber orientation density at each location.

TL;DR: This work presents an improvement on the spin‐echo (SE) diffusion sequence that displays less distortion and consequently improves image quality, and allows more flexible diffusion gradient timing.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a method to create interslice image shifts in the phase encoding direction to increase the distance between aliasing pixels, induced using sign-and amplitude-modulated slice-select gradient blips simultaneous with the EPI phase encoding blips.
