We're delighted to report that David Laidlaw and coworkers Eric Ahrens (CMU), John Allman (Caltech), and Mark Bastin (University of Edinburgh) have been awarded a four-year, $2M+ grant from NIH, "DTI+MRI-based tools for analyzing white matter variation". In this multidisciplinary project, a team of investigators will design and apply software tools that can simultaneously segment neural tissues and identify the locations of bundles of neural fibers in the brain. The tools will operate on combined structural and diffusion magnetic resonance (MR) datasets of the nervous system and will produce morphometric measures of each white matter (WM ...
