White matter tractography

White matter tractography is an imaging technique that visualizes the pathways of nerve fibers in the brain. Using advanced MRI scans, it maps the direction and organization of white matter—bundles of myelinated axons that connect different brain regions. This helps researchers and doctors understand how various parts of the brain communicate, identify abnormalities, or plan surgeries. Think of it like creating a detailed road map of the brain’s wiring system, showing how information travels quickly and efficiently across different areas.
