Synchrotron X-ray Diffraction Captures 'Invisible' Traumatic Brain Injuries

$The myelin sheath (middle) wraps around nerves, protecting them and enabling signals to travel through the brain. A cross section of these layers is shown on the right. With traumatic brain injuries, myelin sheath collapses, which can be tracked with synchrotron X-ray diffraction (left).$
