This image of brain connectivity in a person who lacks a corpus callosum, the fibrous connection between the brain's two hemispheres, was produced by Caltech Brain Imaging Center researcher Michael Tyszka, professor Ralph Adolphs, and collaborators using diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging.
