***EXCLUSIVE*** HARVARD UNIVERSITY, MA - UNDATED: A map of the human brain showing the connecting nerve cells in our minds by Van Wedeen. YOU could call them Brainbows - as these colourful images were created by neurobiologists while mapping our minds. Boffins from Harvard Medical School in the USA have set about meticulously logging more than 100 billion nerve cells and neurones in the human brain. Using advanced MRI screening technology they are uncovering the anatomical features of our minds that have previously been undetectable. And the results have produced these psychedelic images - where swirling streaks of colour shoot in all directions. NEEDED PHOTOGRAPH BY Van Wedeen / SPL / Barcroft Media UK Office, London.
