NCT01686516
Synaptic Plasticity Imaging With Diffusion MRI
Conditions: Brain Aging
Sex: Male
Ages: 20 Years – 80 Years
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Enrollment: 35
Sponsor: Institut National de la Santé Et de la Recherche Médicale, France
Location: Inserm U 825 Toulouse France
Summary
Diffusion MRI employed in functional imaging has the potential to probe directly brain activation instead of blood changes like the BOLD technique. The researchers investigated these rapid synaptic plasticity changes with visual activation followed by BOLD and diffusion functional MRI as well as anatomical (venography, tractography by diffusion) features in young and aged subjects.
