Diffusion markers of dendritic density and arborization in gray matter predict differences in intelligence

Diffusion markers of dendritic density and arborization in gray matter predict differences in intelligence

Previous studies suggest that individual differences in intelligence correlate with circuit complexity and dendritic arborization in the brain. Here the authors use NODDI, a diffusion MRI technique, to confirm that neurite density and arborization are inversely related to measures of intelligence.
