| Abstract | We proposed a novel MRI tracer-based method for the determination of water diffusion in the brain extracellular space (ECS). The measuring system was validated in 32 Sprague Dawley rats. The rats were randomly divided into four groups with different injection sites: 1) caudate nucleus (Cn.); 2) thalamus (T.); 3) cortex (Cor.); and 4) substantia nigra (Sn.). The spin-lattice relaxation time of hydrogen nuclei in water molecules were shortened, which presented as high signal on MRI after the injection of gadolinium-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-DTPA) into the rat brain ECS. The enhancement on MRI decreased over time due to the water diffusion and clearance process within the brain ECS. The process was dynamically recorded on a series of magnetic resonance (MR) images. As the increment in signal intensity (ΔSI) could be converted to local Gd-DTPA concentration, the water diffusion parameters were further calculated voxel by voxel based on a modified diffusion model. The most tortuous ECS (λ = 1.77 ± 0.71) was found in Sn. with D*Sn of (2.06 ± 1.01) × 10 -4mm 2·s -1 ( P <; 0.05). No statistical difference was demonstrated among D*Cn, D* T., and D*Cor. with an average D* values of (3.28 ± 0.88) × 10-4mm2 ·s-1( F = 0.18, P > 0.05). By using the tracer-based MRI method, the local diffusion parameters of the brain ECS can be quantitatively measured. The different distribution territories and clearance rates of the tracer in four brain areas indicated that the brain ECS is a physiologically partitioned system. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
