Imaging axonal fibers

Something we almost missed: a terrific interdisciplinary study mapping the cerebral cortex in mammalian brains that sheds new light on its development and organization, was published in the December 2012 issue of Cerebral Cortex. This research brought together UGA faculty from the departments of computer science, cellular biology, psychology and physics and astronomy in the Franklin College; the Faculty of Engineering, the Bioimaging Research Center and the College of Veterinary Medicine, as well as faculty colleagues from Emory University, Athens Technical College, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, University of California, San Francisco and Northwestern Polytechnical University in Xi'an, China.

Oh, and an image (left) from the study also made the cover of that issue of the journal.
