Using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which can depict axonal fibers, they found a thick cable of what looked like new axons sprouting at the back of the patient's brain. (discovermagazine.com)
As the year progresses, the brain model gets more complicated, and it's harder for second graders to add new axons (this might not be an issue for older students). (edutopia.org)
Using a technique called diffusion tensor imaging, which can spot neural connections, the researchers saw what appeared to be massive tracts of new axon growth. (discovermagazine.com)
