Structural Brain Changes in Blepharospasm: A Cortical Thickness and Diffusion Tensor Imaging Study

Structural Brain Changes in Blepharospasm: A Cortical Thickness and Diffusion Tensor Imaging Study

White matter abnormalities in blepharospasm (BSP) have been evaluated using conventional intra-voxel metrics, and changes in patterns of cortical thickness in BSP remain controversial. We aimed to determine whether local diffusion homogeneity, an inter-voxel diffusivity metric, could be valuable in...
