White matter fibres and brain, artwork C015 / 1938
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 / 1938" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate workings of the human brain. The image showcases a top view of the brain overlaid with vibrant white matter fibres, creating a visually stunning representation. Using advanced technology known as diffusion spectral imaging (DSI), this scan reveals the complex network of nerve bundles that transmit signals between different regions of the brain and even to the spinal cord. DSI is an innovative variant of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that utilizes a magnetic field to map water within neuron fibers, allowing for detailed visualization of their criss-crossing patterns. In addition to DSI, another technique called diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is employed to explore neural data related to white matter fibres in the brain. Both methods enable researchers to map not only the orientations but also establish connections between various areas within this remarkable organ. The data and software used for this groundbreaking research are sourced from NIH Human Connectome Project/humanconnectomeproject. org. By employing these cutting-edge techniques and technologies, scientists can gain valuable insights into how our brains function and communicate information throughout its vast network. This awe-inspiring artwork serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of understanding our own minds while showcasing both the beauty and complexity inherent in every fiber that comprises our extraordinary nervous system.
