Diffusion tensor imaging
Diffusion tensor imaging
This video shows white matter tracts, the long-range connections of the human brain. The tracts are revealed here through a MRI-based method known as 'diffusion tensor imaging' or DTI. The video is based on data produced by Dr Satrajit Ghosh at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT.
