The optimized b value for ex vivo mouse brain structural connectivity

The effects of spatial resolution and angular resolution for brain connectivity

Figure 4. The connectivity maps in isocortex, white matter, and hindbrain regions. High b value (8000 s/mm2) results in more false-positive connections and low b value (1000 s/mm2) results in more false-negative connections.
Figure 2. The crossing fibers resolved at different combination of b values. The multiple-fiber ratio (MFR) gradually increases with b value and becomes more stable with more shells/higher angular resolution.
