Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique commonly used to detect neural abnormalities in routine clinical practice. It is perhaps less well known that the technique can be adapted to measure various anatomical and physiological features of small laboratory rodents. This review focuses on the potential of the MRI technique to image the brain of (transgenic) mouse models for neurological diseases, and aims to introduce these exciting new technological developments to the non-specialist reader.
