63 Maturation of WM Tracts Ages 5-30 Years The relative effects of myelin, axon diameter, NeuroFilament & microtubules on FA, axial & radial diffusivity are unclear. The g ratio of axon diameter to axon + sheath diameter is ~ stable (~ 0.65), but does w axon diam. & varies in axons of one tract. There are no data on the g ratio of M vs. F. Axon caliber depends on # & spacing of NF. No. depends on NF synthesis. Spacing depends on PO 4 of NF side-arms that depends on Myelin-associated glycoproteins from the ODG. Differences in M vs. F hormones could alter the g ratio, and thus WM bulk, FA, axial & radial diffusivity. Axon caliber is one element changing w myelination, age (and gender?) perhaps accounting for the changes in measured MR parameters w age. Paus T. Brain & Cognition 2010; 72:26-35
