Figure 4

The transparent brain surface shows the location of the lesions (red) determined from a T2-weighted image. Diffusion tensor fibre tracking was initiated in the right internal capsule, and the presence of the lesions has caused the tracts to deviate from the motor tract across the corpus callosum. Different approaches to tractography might allow tracking even in areas of severe axonal damage.
