White matter damage and cognitive impairment after traumatic brain injury (2010, background): “Recently, it has become possible to study white matter damage using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI; Arfanakis et al., 2002; Assaf and Pasternak, 2008).”
Age-related differences in white matter microstructure: Region-specific patterns of diffusivity (2010, background): “different elements of WM microstructure, however, it is necessary to consider conjointly all measures derived from the diffusion tensor (Assaf and Pasternak, 2008).”
A hitchhiker's guide to diffusion tensor imaging (2012, background): “…in the literature (Mori and Barker, 1999; Le Bihan et al., 2001; Hagmann et al., 2006; Mori and Zhang, 2006; Mori, 2007; Nucifora et al., 2007; Assaf and Pasternak, 2008; Jones, 2008, 2010b; Mukherjee et al., 2008a; Johansen-Berg and Behrens, 2009; Figueiredo et al., 2011; Thomason and…”
Q-space trajectory imaging for multidimensional diffusion MRI of the human brain (2016, neutral): “…such as cell death, edema, inflammation, demyelination, increase in extracellular or intracellular water and partial volume effects, may cause similar changes in FA (Assaf and Pasternak, 2008; Bihan and Johansen-Berg, 2012; Jones et al., 2013; Vos et al., 2012; O'Donnell and Pasternak, 2015).”
Investigating the prevalence of complex fiber configurations in white matter tissue with diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (2013, background): “Currently, it is amongst the most popular imaging techniques for assessing brain tissue microstructure, particularly in white matter (WM) [Assaf and Pasternak, 2008].”
Conserved and variable architecture of human white matter connectivity (2011, positive): “Studying this measured architecture may therefore provide insight into how macroscopic white matter structure both constrains and facilitates healthy cognitive function (Johansen-Berg, 2009; Bandettini, 2009; Assaf and Pasternak, 2008).”
Measuring and manipulating brain connectivity with resting state functional connectivity magnetic resonance imaging (fcMRI) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) (2012, background): “The first of these, anatomical connectivity, has relied predominantly on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), a technique which measures the asymmetric diffusion of water molecules along white matter fiber tracks (Assaf and Pasternak, 2008).”
Models of the Aging Brain Structure and Individual Decline (2012, background): “Application of different MR pulse sequences, segmentation techniques, voxel- or surface-based processing, and fiber tracking afford the acquisition of a large variety of structural brain markers (Toga and Thompson, 2003; Assaf and Pasternak, 2008; Mietchen and Gaser, 2009).”
Apparent Fibre Density: A novel measure for the analysis of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images (2012, background): “These include ageing, stroke, dementia, Motor Neurone Disease, multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia (amongst others; see Assaf and Pasternak(2008) for a review).”
Multi-tissue constrained spherical deconvolution for improved analysis of multi-shell diffusion MRI data (2014, neutral): “The degree of directionality may provide an indirect measure of the ‘integrity’ or ‘density’ of the underlying tissue (Beaulieu, 2002; Assaf and Pasternak, 2008).”
Free water elimination and mapping from diffusion MRI (2009, neutral): “[4]”
Meta-analysis of diffusion tensor imaging studies in schizophrenia. (2009, methodology): “However, demyelination is not always accompanied by FA reduction and some studies of oedema after acute stroke have found increased FA (Assaf and Pasternak, 2008).”
