We report on time-dependent diffusion in white We report on time-dependent diffusion in white matter as measured on three normal human volunteers over diffusion times ranging from 26 to 400 ms. A decrease in axial diffusivity with time is found indicating the presence of restrictions to diffusion along the axonal direction. We also note a decrease in radial diffusion with respect to time, however this decrease is less pronounced. Our results imply that axial and possibly radial time-dependent diffusion may be observable using clinical systems.
