The hippocampus plays an essential role in memory; the impairment in intra-hippocampal connectivity could result in memory loss in neurodegenerative dementias. We generate intra-hippocampal fiber tracts and connectomes from submillimeter isotropic DTI images for repeated scans from the same subjects and across different subjects. We characterize the fiber orientations and connectivity across hippocampal subfields by registering all in vivo scans onto the population template and we compare these results with those from an ex vivo human brain sample. This method can assess intra-hippocampal connectivity in vivo, which could be potentially used to diagnose neurodegenerative diseases.
