A monster tumor

A monster tumor (red, glossy lump) is rerouting the brain's streets and highways. These pathways -- the white matter that connects neuronal cell bodies -- are represented in red and blue, with red being near enough the tumor to be a concern during surgery, and blue being a safe distance away. Constructed by a team at Sherbrooke Connectivity Imaging Lab using magnetic resonance imaging, this image was awarded an honorable mention.
