White matter fibres, brain mri scan C014 / 5674
White matter fibres overlaid a mri scan of the human head. Coloured 3D diffusion spectral imaging (DSI) scan of the bundles of white matter nerve fibres in the brain. The fibres transmit nerve signals between brain regions and between the brain and the spinal cord. Diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) is a variant of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in which a magnetic field maps the water contained in neuron fibers, thus mapping their criss-crossing patterns. A similar technique called diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is also used to explore neural data of white matter fibres in the brain. Both methods allow mapping of their orientations and the connections between brain regions. Data/software: NIH Human Connectome Project /humanconnectomeproject.org)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of white matter fibres in the human brain, overlaid on an MRI scan. The coloured 3D diffusion spectral imaging (DSI) scan beautifully reveals the bundles of nerve fibres that transmit crucial signals between different regions of the brain and even to the spinal cord. Utilizing a magnetic field to map water within neuron fibers, DSI allows for a detailed visualization of their criss-crossing patterns. This technique is part of the broader field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), specifically tailored to explore white matter pathways in our nervous system. Another similar method called diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is also employed to study neural data related to these white matter fibres. Both DSI and DTI enable researchers and medical professionals to map not only the orientations but also uncover connections between various brain regions. These invaluable insights into our complex neural architecture contribute significantly towards understanding how information flows throughout our brains. The data used for this remarkable image originates from NIH Human Connectome Project, an ambitious endeavor aiming to comprehensively map human brain connectivity. By shedding light on these intricate pathways and connections, studies like this pave the way for advancements in neuroscience research, diagnostics, and potentially even therapeutic interventions. Captured by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this visually stunning print serves as a testament to both scientific progress and artistic beauty found within our own minds.
