Abstract
Brain development has become a prominent issue in recent years. In people with or without any visible or invisible diseases, degeneration is an inevitable phenomenon that a brain will develop over time. Diffusion Tensor Image (DTI) has been a robust technique to observe white matter details in normal subjects and in patients. In this study, our goal is to consolidate DTI indices to properly differentiate changes between bilateral hippocampi in rats as they grow up.
