This color enhanced axial (cross sectional) T1 weighted MRI image of the brain demonstrates nodules of heterotopic gray matter (green) along the margins of the left (on your right) lateral ventricle. This is a type of neuronal migration disorder. Cells destined to be in cortical gray matter begin in the subependymal regions in the germinal matrix zones. These neurons then migrate peripherally along radial-glial fibers to the cortex. If there is an insult during this process these neurons fail to migrate and will remain in the subependymal zones | |
