The 57th episode of Health Wrap by The Hindu explores how researchers are using advanced imaging and reconstruction techniques to create detailed, three-dimensional maps of the human brain. Zubeda Hamid, senior assistant editor, The Hindu, speaks to Mohanasankar Sivaprakasam, Head of the Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Centre at IIT Madras, about the technology, how the maps are created and what they could reveal about the human brain.
The episode looks at C-STROKE, a recently released three-dimensional atlas of a stroke-affected brain. Unlike conventional MRI scans, which provide images of the brain at a particular resolution, the new approach allows researchers to examine brain structures in greater detail and build comprehensive 3D maps.
