Brain activity white matter fibres C016 / 6296
White matter fibres overlaid a human head x-ray. 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, as captured through a 3D diffusion spectral imaging (DSI) scan. Overlaid on an x-ray image of a human head, these colourful bundles of nerve fibres represent the vital pathways that transmit signals between different regions of the brain and also to the spinal cord. Utilizing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), DSI is a specialized technique that employs a magnetic field to map water molecules within neuron fibers. This mapping process allows for visualizing the criss-crossing patterns and orientations of these white matter fibres, revealing their connections and interplay between various brain regions. Similar to diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), DSI provides valuable insights into neural data associated with white matter fibres. By accurately mapping their orientations and connections, researchers gain a deeper understanding of how information flows throughout the complex neural networks in our brains. The data used for this remarkable visualization comes from NIH Human Connectome Project's extensive research efforts aimed at unraveling the mysteries of our nervous system. Through advancements in fibre tracking techniques like DTI and DSI scans, scientists are continually expanding our knowledge about neural pathways, paving the way for breakthroughs in neuroscience research and potential therapeutic interventions. This awe-inspiring print by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY serves as both an artistic representation and scientific documentation of one aspect of human brain activity - highlighting its complexity while showcasing its beauty.
