Plasticity Journal Club

Adam will present an interesting new paper on "Track-Density Imaging" (TDI) with lots of pretty pictures. The authors claim that standard 2 mm resolution DWI images can be used to produce whole-brain, 0.25 mm resolution TDI images provided a sufficient number of directions are collected. They also propose a new method of voxelwise structural analysis based on the number of tracks in each voxel. Grab the paper here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37868/Calamante-Neuroimage-2010.pdf Also stop by the Neuroimage website to view three movies showing the "Super-resolution" TDI images: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2010.07.024
