Summary: Neuroscientists, led by BRAIN Initiative grantee Ashish Raj, have used a form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) called Diffusion-Tensor MRI to better understand neurological disorders.

Ashish Raj A few of the most important eigenmodes of the brain’s network obtained from healthy subjects. These eigenmodes are robust in healthy and diseased subjects. Spheres represent brain regions; their colors are meant to capture the spatial pattern of the eigenmode: red is high positive, and blue is high negative.
