Parcellation of Human Inferior Parietal Lobule Based on Diffusion MRI and Resting State Functional MRI

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Washington, 2014This thesis describes the parcellation of the human inferior parietal lobule (IPL) based on diffusion MRI and resting state functional MRI. It also describes the in-depth analysis of the dynamic functional networks associated with different areas of the IPL and how to use the dynamic functional networks to parcellate IPL voxels. Although the IPL voxel parcellation was not successful, we made some novel discoveries about voxel-level functional behavior patterns
