Brain cancer. 3-D coloured tractography magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a 36-year-old's brain with an oligodendroglioma tumour (cancer, centre right) in the parietal region of the left hemisphere of the cerebrum. Oligodendrogliomas originate from the oligodendrocytes of the brain or from a glial precursor cell. They do not spread but damage the brain as it grows. Here, this tractography scan reveals how nerve fibres (red, yellow) have been affected by the tumour.
