white matter

Brain scans of autistic and non-autistic men reveal an association between white matter aberrations and the ages of their fathers at the time the sons were born.

Using diffusion-weighted tractography, scientists can produce a detailed image of the minute neural fibers within a mouse brain.  

The white matter tracts that wind throughout this microetching are based on diffusion spectrum imaging data from a human brain, realistically portraying the circuits found within a sagittal brain section.

Neuroscientist Geoffrey Raisman pioneered the study of spinal cord injury and the use of cell transplants to repair the damage.

For neuroscientists, experimental results converge to help crack the case of how the brain functions.

Once dominated by correlational studies, face-perception research is moving into the realm of experimentation—and gaining tremendous insight.

Ron Blackwell helps neuroscientists map the circuitry of face perception by letting them stimulate his brain with electricity.
