Cellular correlates of gray matter volume changes in magnetic resonance morphometry identified by two-photon microscopy
Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain combined with voxel-based morphometry (VBM) revealed changes in gray matter volume (GMV) in various disorders. However, the cellular basis of GMV changes has remained largely unclear. We correlated changes in GMV with cellular metrics by imaging...
