Hi guys, im trying to learn about the brain and stuff, and lately tractography has piqued my interest
This technique is a way to visualize the movement of the water inside the axons of a neuron, and by giving it a color coding, you can infere the directions of the fibers and tracts.
Anybody knows more about this stuff? Recommended readings?
in this picture, we can visualize the corpus callosum, one of the main commisural pathways of the brain: in red, we se transvere fibers, in green, the antero-posterior ones, and in blue, the ones with supero-inferior directions.

Thanks senpai, even though my interest is mainly from an anatomical standpoint, I think I should read a little about the physics related stuff
>>8503001
what are you interested in?

The neuroanatomy of the brain
>>8503141
look at deepak panyda. a beast in neural tracing. done so much on that and cytoarchitecture. and a guy called morecraft
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0896627312009592 good contemporary paper on possible computational/theoretical principles behind neuroanatomy.
>>8503156
actually the second paper is probably too soon.
>>8503141
literally any neuroanatomy book and a simple search on pubmed will get you where you want. don0t ever trust /sci/

thanks pal, i will look onto them
I think i have read a little about panya, (fiber pathways of the brain or something like that) but its based on the monkey brain studies
do you now anything about marco catani?
I still haven't found his atlas anyway

I have little experience doing tractography. I got this one a week ago while playing with the cerebellar peduncles. It shows corticopontine fibers; some of the dentorubralthalamic fibers and the dorsal spinocerebellar fibers are also shown

>marco catani
nah never heard gotta look into it.
>>8503208
just says his atlas on some website if u search his name? but dunno how to get it.
>>8503233
>>8503236
this is the atlas i was talking about. Supposedly a must
>>8503252
yeah cant seem to find anywhere to get it for free though.
>>8503256
what a shame.
fuck paywalls
>>8503258
not even scihub. bloody oxford and cambridge publications or whatever seem to be immune to scihub.

I hate being poor
