Table I.

The definitions of the six TYPEs and the histological structure each TYPE represents within the white matter (WM).

TYPE DEFINITION
HISTOLOGICAL STRUCTURE REPRESENTED
f1 f2 f3 Dieff (i=1,2,3)
I ≠0 =0 =0 [Dg, DL] unidirectional bundles
II ≠0 ≠0 =0 [Dg, DL] two bundles crossing orthogonally
III ≠0 ≠0 ≠0 [Dg, DL] three bundles crossing orthogonally
IV f1 + f2 + f3 >1 [Dg, DL] the reference bundles do not fit
V [DL, ∞) the WM contaminated by CSF partially
VI (0, Dg] experimental noise
