SCIL's imagery and videos featured in February's National Geographic Magazine

A video resulting from the collaboration between CREATE-MIA Professor Maxime Descoteaux and Dr. David Fortin, both researchers at the Centre de recherche clinique Étienne-Le Bel du CHUS in Sherbrooke is featured in February's issue of National Geographic article "Secrets of the Brain" by Carl Zimmer.  In the video, Prof. Descoteaux describes how differential MRI tractography can be used as a neurosurgical planning tool  to help the surgeon avoid damaging areas of the patient's brain responsible for motor function.

The CREATE-MIA trainees who are part of SCIL, which is led by Prof. Descoteaux, had the opportunity to contribute to this project.
