White matter fibres and brain, artwork C015 / 1940
White matter fibres overlaid a 3d model of the human brain in top view. 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 photo print, titled "White matter fibres and brain, artwork C015 / 1940" showcases the intricate beauty of the human brain's white matter fibers. In this top view image, a colored 3D diffusion spectral imaging (DSI) scan overlays a detailed model of the brain. White matter fibers play a crucial role in transmitting nerve signals between different regions of the brain and connecting it to the spinal cord. To capture their complex criss-crossing patterns, diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI), a variant of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), utilizes a magnetic field to map water molecules within neuron fibers. The technique used here is similar to another method called diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which also explores neural data related to white matter fibers. Both approaches enable researchers to map fiber orientations and connections between various areas of the brain. This remarkable artwork was created using data from the NIH Human Connectome Project, an initiative dedicated to mapping and understanding the human brain's structural and functional connectivity. The resulting image provides us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into our nervous system's pathways, cutouts, connexions, and bundles. "White matter fibres and brain" serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression. It reminds us of how intricately interconnected our brains are while showcasing their inherent beauty through advanced imaging techniques.
