Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is the method that uses an MRI magnet to track the pattern of cortical connections in the brain. DTI measures the diffusion of water molecules in the brain, which can reveal the location and direction of white matter tracts that connect different regions of the brain. MEG, PET, and EEG are different neuroimaging techniques that do not specifically track cortical connections.
