White matter fibres of the human brain C014 / 5670
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 web 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 crucial role in transmitting signals between different regions of the brain and even to the spinal cord. Utilizing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), specifically diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI), this technique allows for mapping the water contained within neuron fibers, revealing their complex criss-crossing patterns. Another method known as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is also employed to explore neural data related to white matter fibres. Both DTI and DSI provide invaluable insights into understanding the orientation and connections between various brain regions. By unraveling these pathways, scientists can gain deeper knowledge about how information is processed and transmitted throughout our nervous system. The data used for this remarkable image comes from the NIH Human Connectome Project, an initiative dedicated to comprehensively mapping out the human brain's structural connectivity. This particular photograph was captured by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, showcasing their expertise in capturing scientific imagery with stunning clarity. In summary, this visually striking print offers a glimpse into the hidden world of white matter fibres that form an essential foundation for communication within our extraordinary human brain.
