Exploring the relationship between larmor-frequency electrical conductivity, diffusivity, and tissue volume in the aging brain
These findings suggest that increased conductivity is associated with altered diffusivity and reduced cognitive performance, suggesting the use of MREPT to differentiate between conductivity changes due to ion mobility versus proton density, and how this approach contributes to understanding the aging brain and neurodegeneration. MREPT-derived measurements primarily reflect ion mobility and caution that clinical interpretations should consider the direct relationships between conductivity and diffusion changes.
