Cable Connections in the Brain

Caption

This image shows an example of one cable of connections, as they pass through a single spot in the brain. The fibers connect two critical motor areas of the brain. This person was scanned on three occasions, and each scan is a different color. This overlap demonstrates the remarkable consistency in mapping any given connection.
