Hemispheric asymmetries in cortical gray matter microstructure identified by neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging

Histological studies have reported microstructural hemispheric asymmetries in several cortical areas of the human brain, but reliable in vivo assessment methods have been lacking so far. Here, we used neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) to examine microstructural asymmetries in in vivo and determine if findings are in accordance with what has been reported in histological studies. We examined intra-neurite volume fraction...
