Neuroplasticity can be defined as the ability of the nervous system to respond to intrinsic or
extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, function and connections. Major advances in the …

Magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a non-invasive in vivo method for
characterizing the integrity of anatomical connections and white matter circuitry and provides a …

… low anisotropy and high diffusivity, we have speculated that intravoxel diffusivity in alcoholism
arises from both intracellular and extracellular compartments (Pfefferbaum and Sullivan …

Objective: To model in vivo the dynamic interrelations of head size, gray matter, white matter,
and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volumes from infancy to old age using magnetic resonance …

… EV Sullivan was supported by the Department of Veterans Affairs and grants MH30854 and
MH40041. We wish to thank F. Jacob Huff for providing the test materials for his revision of …

Echo planar (EP) diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) permits in vivo identification of the
orientation and coherence of brain white matter tracts but suffers from field inhomogeneity‐induced …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to study in vivo the brains of 49 patients with
chronic alcoholism, 3 to 4 weeks postwithdrawal, and 43 normal healthy controls, all right‐…

Background: Chronic excessive consumption of alcohol produces marked deficits in cognitive
and motor abilities, although not all functions are affected to the same extent. Furthermore, …

This study used magnetic resonance imaging to quantify the extent and pattern of tissue
volume deficit and cerebrospinal fluid volume enlargement in younger versus older chronic …

The sensation and perception of smell (olfaction) are largely dependent on sniffing, which is
an active stage of stimulus transport and therefore an integral component of mammalian …
