Color encoded maps of white matter fiber directions (red = left/right; green = anterior/posterior; blue = superior/inferior). Colored regions indicate white matter locations with: (A) at least one fiber population (and the orientation of the main bundle); (B) at least two fiber populations (and the orientation of the secondary bundle); and (C) at least three fiber populations (and the orientation of the tertiary bundle). Even a cursory visual comparison of (A,B) reveals that most white matter regions contain at least two fiber populations with different orientations (i.e., crossing fibers), and a closer inspection of (A,C) reveals a non-trivial number of regions with three or more fiber populations with different orientations.
