Brain Scan Tapestries

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.

White matter fibres. Coloured 3D diffusion spectral imaging (DSI) scan of the bundles of white matter nerve fibres in the brain, depicting mirror neurons. Mirror neurons are found in the brain. They are so called because they fire when an individual carries out an action and also when an individual observes that same action being performed by another. Mirror neurons were discovered in the 1990s by researchers working with macaque monkeys. They have since been found in other primates, including humans, and some birds. It is thought these neurons could be important in social interactions, empathy and the evolution of language. Deficiencies in or of motor neurons may also be involved in brain disorders such as autism and schizophrenia.

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scan. Reconstructed brain white matter fibres of the whole brain. DTI offers a non-invasive look into how white matter, the highways of our brain, connect distant brain regions. Each fibre shown represent many thousands of actual fibres in the human brain. Colours are coded as; left to right - red, anterior to posterior - green, and superior to inferior - blue.

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scan. A close-up look into the reconstructed white matter fibres of the brain. DTI offers a non-invasive look into how the white matter, or the highways of our brain, connect distant regions. Pathways shown include the uncinated fasciculus, a pathway that connects regions in the temporal lobe to the orbital and medial frontal cortex.

Brain fibres. 3D diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a selection of nerve pathways (green/yellow) in the brain. The brain is seen from the side, with the front of the brain at left. The ventricles are pink and the brain's cortical surface is blue. Diffusion tensor imaging measures the direction of water diffusion, which in the brain reveals the orientation of nerve fibres. The technique is also known as tractography, with the resulting image known as a tractogram.

Corpus callosum. Coronal 3D diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of nerve pathways (coloured) in and around the brain's corpus callosum. The corpus callosum (red, centre) is the band of nerve fibres that connects the two hemispheres of the brain (left and right). Diffusion tensor imaging measures the direction of water diffusion, which in the brain reveals the orientation of nerve fibres. The technique is also known as tractography, with the resulting image known as a tractogram.

Art inspired by vibrant colors and intricate patterns of brain scans. Wanted to highlight that even if you suffer from incessant anxious thoughts, the mind does have other parts that celebrate beauty and creativity.

Brain scans. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans through a human head showing a healthy brain. The bottom row (and one at lower right) are axial sections with the front of the head at top. The others are sagittal sections with the front at left. The largest part of the brain is the folded cerebrum, which controls conscious thoughts. The highly-folded cerebellum, which controls balance and posture, is seen at lower right in the sagittal scans. Eyes (white circles) are seen in some of the scans at lower right. MRI uses radio waves and a powerful magnet to provoke tissues to emit signals depending on their composition. It is particularly useful for studying nervous tissue.
