Segmental Alterations of the Corpus Callosum in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy: A Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study
Background: The regional distribution of the widespread cerebral morphological alterations in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is considered to include segmental parts of the corpus callosum (CC).Objective: The study was designed to investigate the regional white matter (WM) of the CC by T1 weig...
