White matter fibres of the human brain C014 / 5669
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 in the human brain. Coloured with a 3D diffusion spectral imaging (DSI) scan, it unveils the bundles of nerve fibres that transmit crucial signals between different regions of the brain and even to the spinal cord. By employing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), specifically diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI), these fibres are mapped out by tracking the water contained within neuron fibers. This mapping technique reveals their complex criss-crossing patterns, allowing scientists to explore and understand neural pathways. Similar to diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), DSI enables researchers to study white matter fibres extensively, unveiling their orientations and connections between various brain regions. Both methods provide invaluable insights into how information is transmitted throughout our nervous system. The data used for this remarkable visualization originates from the NIH Human Connectome Project, which aims to comprehensively map out human brain connectivity. Through cutting-edge technology and advanced software, such as fibre tracking algorithms, scientists can unravel the mysteries hidden within these delicate nerve bundles. This extraordinary image serves as a testament to our ever-growing understanding of the human brain's complexity and highlights how technological advancements continue to push boundaries in neuroscience research.
