Visual abstract of the paper. It shows the four key methodology steps:
1. fixel-based analysis of 3T diffusion MRI
2. selection of motor speech tracts in the brain
3. visualisation of axonal loss in multiple sclerosis
4. correlation of axonal damage and loss with speech metrics
These steps are presented alongside images showing white matter tracts and tract damage.
just dropping in one of my phd papers 🤓
this study used #diffusionmri fixel-based analysis to assess how white matter tract damage in people with #multiplesclerosis is linked to #dysarthria symptoms!
