White matter fibres of the human brain C014 / 5667
White matter fibres. 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 within the human brain. Coloured in a mesmerizing 3D diffusion spectral imaging (DSI) scan, these bundles of nerve fibres play a vital role in transmitting signals between different regions of the brain and connecting it to the spinal cord. Utilizing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), specifically diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI), this image reveals the criss-crossing patterns formed by water molecules contained within neuron fibers. This mapping technique allows for a comprehensive understanding of their orientations and connections between various brain regions. Similar to DSI, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is another method employed to explore neural data associated with white matter fibres. Both techniques enable researchers to map pathways and investigate how different areas of the brain communicate with one another. The significance of this research lies in unraveling the complexities of our nervous system and gaining insights into how information flows throughout our brains. The data used for this particular image was obtained from NIH Human Connectome Project, an initiative dedicated to mapping human brain connectivity. Displayed here as a stunning visual representation, this print captures not only scientific curiosity but also serves as a reminder of the remarkable complexity that resides within each one of us.
