Synopsis
The potential of magnetic resonance microscopy is to image the multimodal function of the brain in small brain, such as embryo. In this study, we developed high resolution imaging of T1 image, T2 mapping, mean diffusivity, and neurite orientation dispersion by diffusion MRI in embryo and early postnatal (P07) in mouse. These values were different between embryo and early postnatal. Immunohistochemistry revealed distinct proliferation and maturation of neurons and astrocytes in these stages. These results indicate the possibility of high-resolution MR microscopy to detect the cellular maturation in development.
