The aim of this literature review is to present a summary of the published literature relating
the details of the different modifications of specimen preparation for white matter dissection …

The fiber dissection technique is one of the earliest methods used to demonstrate the
internal structures of the brain, but until the development of fiber tractography, most …

BACKGROUND: An understanding of the anatomy of white matter tracts and their 3-
dimensional (3D) relationship with each other is important for neurosurgical practice. The …

The angular gyrus (AG) has been described in numerous studies to be consistently activated
in various functional tasks. The angular gyrus is a critical connector epicenter linking …

Τhe middle longitudinal fasciculus (MdLF) was initially identified in humans as a discrete
subcortical pathway connecting the superior temporal gyrus (STG) to the angular gyrus (AG) …

OBJECTIVE The sagittal stratum is divided into two layers. In classic descriptions, the
stratum sagittale internum corresponds to optic radiations (RADs), whereas the stratum …

The sagittal stratum (SS) is a large sheet-like structure where major axonal fiber tracts cross,
though its anatomical delineations are still debated. Here we investigated the poorly studied …

Background Myelin loss is a feature of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD). Although
physical activity levels may exert protective effects over cSVD pathology, its specific …

Neuroplasticity is a complex process of structural and functional reorganization of brain
tissue. In the fetal period, neuroplasticity plays an important role in the emergence and …

Background R2* relaxometry and quantitative susceptibility mapping can be combined to
distinguish between microstructural changes and iron deposition in white matter. Here, we …
