Brain, Ventricles and Ganglia Development

Three-dimensional reconstruction of the basal ganglia and ganglionic eminence (bottom row of a), ventricle (middle row of a), and whole brain (top row of a).

Legend

• gray - whole brain
• pink - ventricle
• red - ganglionic eminence
• cyan - putamen and globus pallidus together
• yellow - thalamus
• green - caudate nucleus

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) A newly developed form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Magnetic field variations of the MRI magnet are applied in at least six different directions generating a three dimensional shape of the diffusion pattern. This technique can be used in neural imaging of white matter due to the orientation of axon bundles and the associated water flow. (More? Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
