What it is
A computational neuroimaging technique that automatically compares, voxel by voxel, brain tissue concentration between MRI images, allowing detection of subtle volume differences throughout the whole brain without manually defining regions of interest.
What it led to
- Widespread use in research on neurological disease and aging
- Incorporation into standard neuroimaging software (SPM)
- Enabled large-scale neuroimaging studies
