This work demonstrates diffusion MRI (dMRI) for imaging the microstructure of the developing cerebral cortex in the mouse embryo. 3D diffusion micro-imaging at high SNR was achieved using accelerated diffusion-weighted gradient and spin echo based acquisition. The resulting dMRI data allowed resolving the microscopic structure of transient zones in the developing cortex from embryonic day 12 (E12) to E18 (n=3 at each stage) based on diffusion as an endogenous probe, and revealed 3D imaging of cortical microstructure in unprecedented detail.
