Developing multi-modal analysis of brain anatomical connectivity using quantitative MRI data

The aim of this work is to develop a method to investigate connectivity properties of a specific set of Grey Matter regions in the brain, and its relationship with connectivity described by the fibre structure of underlying White Matter. Data were acquired with MRI, a flexible, widely available, non-invasive technique, which can picture in vivo the connectome, a comprehensive map of neural connections in the living brain. We worked with scans of healthy subjects and patients affected by MS
