Before revision:  However, changes in WM-modeling parameters and in particular in extra-axonal axial diffusivity are clearly different from previous studies using other animal models of MS. Our data suggest that DKI and microstructural modeling can provide a unique contrast capable of detecting EAE-specific changes in normal appearing white matter and gray matter correlating with clinical disability.
