TL;DR: Dipy aims to provide transparent implementations for all the different steps of dMRI analysis with a uniform programming interface, and has implemented classical signal reconstruction techniques, such as the diffusion tensor model and deterministic fiber tractography.

TL;DR: Thalamocortical lesion volume and the mean diffusivity in track regions connecting lesion and thalami were significantly correlated with thalamic volumes in patients, a finding not observed in regions outside the thalamocortsical white matter.

TL;DR: The provided data show that probabilistic HARDI tractography is the most objective and reproducible analysis but given the small sample and number of stimulation points a generalization about the results should be given with caution.

TL;DR: Results indicate that postoperative injury to dorsal language pathways may be prognostic for long-term clinical language deficits following surgery, and suggest the importance of dorsal stream tract preservation to reduce language deficits in patients undergoing glioma resection.

TL;DR: The poor sensitivity of DTI to delineate lateral motor pathways reported herein suggests that DTI fiber tracking must be used with caution and only as adjunctive data to established methods for motor mapping.
