White matter fibres, DTI scan
White matter fibres. Coloured 3D diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scan of the brain, showing the bundles of white matter nerve fibres. The fibres transmit nerve signals between brain regions and between the brain and the spinal cord. DTI scans show the diffusion of water along white matter fibres, allowing their orientations and the connections between brain regions to be mapped

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of white matter fibres in the human brain. In this coloured 3D diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scan, we are presented with a mesmerizing visual representation of the nerve bundles that transmit vital signals between different regions of the brain and even to the spinal cord. The black background serves as a striking contrast, allowing us to focus solely on these delicate pathways and connections. Through DTI scans like this one, scientists are able to map out and understand how water diffuses along these white matter fibres, providing insights into their orientations and interconnections. With its false-coloured presentation, this image not only offers an anatomical view but also highlights the biological complexity of our nervous system. The myelinated axons within these tracts play a crucial role in maintaining healthy brain function. As we delve into this three-dimensional representation, it becomes evident that every aspect has been meticulously captured by advanced MRI scanning techniques. This photograph is a testament to both technological advancements in neurology and our ever-growing understanding of the human brain. In essence, this print encapsulates the wonderment found within our own minds - an awe-inspiring reminder of just how intricately connected we truly are.
