The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of the rat optic nerve was measured in vitro, using magnetic resonance imaging, to determine the effects of changes in cellular volume fraction on the diffusion of tissue water. Nerve ADC was determined under conditions of cell membrane depolarization and (i) increased intracellular volume, (ii) decreased intracellular volume, and (iii) negligible volume change. Depolarization alone had little affect on ADC, whereas volume changes produced strong, reversible effects. Increased cell volume decreased ADC and vice versa. These results are consistent with the view that changes in the extracellular space are the major source of ADC changes in brain tissue.
