Diffusion spectrum imaging tracks:
A) changes in blood flow due to neural activity.
B) electrical activity of neurons produced by postsynaptic potentials.
C) magnetic fields produced by action potentials of neurons.
D) movement of water molecules in brain tissue along the axons.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diffusion spectrum imaging is a type of magnetic resonance imaging that tracks the movement of water molecules in brain tissue along the axons. This can provide detailed information about the organization of white matter tracts in the brain. It does not track changes in blood flow, electrical activity, or magnetic fields produced by neurons.
