timescale and spatial distribution of this change remain uncertain. Cross-sectional diffusion …

Age‐related differences in multiple measures of white matter integrity: A diffusion tensor imaging study of healthy aging

IJ Bennett, DJ Madden, CJ Vaidya… - Human brain …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) measures diffusion of molecular water, which can be used to

White matter structural decline in normal ageing: a prospective longitudinal study using tract-based spatial statistics

TR Barrick, RA Charlton, CA Clark, HS Markus - Neuroimage, 2010 - Elsevier
