Synopsis

We performed high-resolution ex-vivo DTI in mice with cutaneous T-Cell lymphoma (CTCL) in a mouse model of pruritus. Our results show significant network changes within and between specific brain regions, namely thalamus and hippocampus, by the later stage of disease. At the chronic stage (55 days), micro-structural changes and enhanced connectivity are established between the hippocampus and thalamus.
