Description
Hagmann, Cammoun, Gigandet, and co-authors map the structural core of the human cerebral cortex. The cortex is divided into specialised regions, yet those regions are joined by a dense web of fibre pathways. Using diffusion spectrum imaging, the team traced those pathways without surgery.
Their scans covered links within each hemisphere and across to the other side. From the full web, they identify a core set of highly connected regions that may anchor brain communication. A structural backbone helps explain how separate brain areas act as one system, and what fails when core links are damaged.
