The Why Files
Brain image
This view of a monkey’s brain shows structure and neural pathways covered with myelin (white matter). The image was produced using diffusion tensor imaging. Red indicates a pathway connecting medial and lateral regions; green-labeled pathways connect posterior and anterior brain regions; blue ones enable inferior and superior areas to communicate. This fine-grained resolution required a 40-hour scan in a high magnetic field. The image was produced by a collaboration of the University of Wisconsin (Christopher Coe, Gabriele Lubach, Andrew Alexander), the University of North Carolina (Martin Styner) and Duke University (Evan Calabrese, G. Allan Johnson).
