“…Notably, the alteration in radial anisotropy displayed the largest effect size and were directly correlated with histological measures of axonal damage (Li et al, 2013 ; Tu et al, 2016 ; also in rat models). FA maps have demonstrated substantial microstructural abnormalities also in case of experimental blast injury in mouse (Rubovitch et al, 2011 ; Hutchinson et al, 2018 ; Venkatasubramanian et al, 2020 ; Weiss et al, 2020 ) as well as in rat models (Budde et al, 2013 ; Begonia et al, 2014 ; Kamnaksh et al, 2014 ; Zhuo et al, 2015 ; Tang et al, 2017 ; Badea et al, 2018 ; Missault et al, 2019 ; Mohamed et al, 2020 ; San Martín Molina et al, 2020 ). DTI appeared sensitive enough to detect changes even in mild TBI models (Hylin et al, 2013 ; Takeuchi et al, 2013 ; Long et al, 2015 ; Li et al, 2016 ; Herrera et al, 2017 ; Kikinis et al, 2017 ; Wendel et al, 2018 ; Hoogenboom et al, 2019 ) and in distant locations within the brain up to 1 year after injury (Pischiutta et al, 2018 ).…”
