Click anywhere on the brain and see that region's projections.
Fibers are diffusion tractography (dMRI) from Human Connectome Project

Diffusion MRI (dMRI) is sensitive to the brain's microstructure, but a myriad of dMRI measures exist. Can their similarities be captured concisely by a few factors? How are these factors organized in the brain? How are they altered in focal epilepsy? A 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
Takeaway #3: Microstructural factors are distinctly organized, which influences their sensitivity to microstructural changes in different regions. In TLE, factor alterations differed within clinically relevant circuits --> Disease mapping benefits from using complementary metrics
I am so grateful for all of my amazing collaborators who helped make this research possible, particularly the outstanding mentorship and support from my advisor Kate Davis & close collaborator Ted Satterthwaite (@sattertt)
