The original NODDI provides indices of neurite (axons and dendrites) morphology that are sensitive and specific to microstructural changes [3-7]. Bingham-NODDI additionally allows the estimation of neurite dispersion anisotropy, which can enhance the accuracy of tractography algorithms [8]. The in vivo feasibility of Bingham-NODDI has been evaluated in [1]. The present study validates its indices using high-resolution ex vivo imaging data of the human primary visual cortex (V1), a well characterised region of the neocortex known to include fibres that fan or bend into the cortical layers. %Z This version is the version of record.
