For more than one century, brain processing was mainly thought in a localizationist
framework, in which one given function was underpinned by a discrete, isolated cortical�…

Due primarily to the extensive disposition of fibers and secondarily to the methodological
preferences of researchers, the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) subdivisions have�…

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography allows perform virtual dissections of white matter
pathways in the living human brain. In 2002, Catani et al. published a method to reconstruct�…

The greater expansion of the frontal lobes along the phylogeny scale has been interpreted
as the signature of evolutionary changes underlying higher cognitive abilities in humans�…

Few themes have been more central to neurological models of aphasia than the
disconnection paradigm and the role of the arcuate fasciculus. Introduced by luminaries of�…

The purpose of this study is to create a white matter atlas of the human brain using diffusion
tensor imaging (DTI) tractography and to describe the constant and variable features of the�…

Objective The structural and functional organization of brain networks subserving basic daily
activities (ie language, visuo-spatial cognition, movement, semantics, etc.) are not�…

Orienting of spatial attention is a family of phylogenetically old mechanisms developed to
select information for further processing. Information can be selected via top-down or�…

Despite electrostimulation studies of the white matter pathways, supporting the role of the
inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF) in semantic processing, little is known about the�…

In this review paper we address whether deficits in reading (ie developmental dyslexia) are
rooted in neurobiological anomalies in white matter tracts. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)�…
