Tracing Superior Longitudinal Fasciculus Connectivity in the …
The major language pathways such as superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) pathways have been outlined by experimental and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies. The SLF I and some of the superior parietal lobule connections of the SLF pathways ...
Superior longitudinal fasciculus - Wikipedia
The superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) is an association tract in the brain that is composed of three separate components. [1] [2] It is present in both hemispheres and can be found lateral to the centrum semiovale and connects the frontal, occipital, parietal, and temporal lobes. [2]
Superior Longitudinal Fasciculus: A Review of the Anatomical ...
Apr 26, 2022 · The superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) is considered to be the largest associative fiber bundle system in the brain. The SLF is a part of the longitudinal association fiber system, which lays connections between the frontal lobe and other areas of …
Tracing superior longitudinal fasciculus connectivity in the …
We also demonstrate for the first time the trajectory and connectivity of the SLF fibers in relation to other language pathways as well as the superior parietal lobule connections of the language circuit using high spatial resolution DTI in the healthy adult human brain.
Superior Longitudinal Fasciculus - an overview - ScienceDirect
In humans, the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) connects the frontal lobe with the parietal, temporal (Wernicke's area; superior temporal gyrus, temporal pole), and occipital lobes (visual association areas) (Bürgel et al., 2006; Catani et al., 2002).
Superior Longitudinal Fasciculus and Language Functioning in …
Early anatomical models of language focused on the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF), a white matter tract believed to connect temporo-parietal language regions to ipsilateral frontal and opercular areas. For many years, the SLF and arcuate …
The superior longitudinal fascicle: reconsidering the fronto-parietal ...
Aug 29, 2019 · In 2005, using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), Catani et al. (2005) designated the classical AF as the SLF/AF (AF, namely SLF) and divided it into three segments: anterior, posterior, and long.
The connectivity of the superior longitudinal fasciculus: a ...
Feb 1, 2010 · Among all the fasciculi that diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)-tractography has re-discovered, the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) is especially important as it deals with language, a cognitive function that distinguishes us from the rest of the animal kingdom.
DTI tractography of the SLF. An illustrative case of DTI …
The SLF is a large lateral associative white matter bundle generally connecting the temporoparietal area (TPA) with the frontal, parietal and temporal areas and may segmented into three branches...
The anatomical characteristics of superior longitudinal fasciculus …
Jan 6, 2012 · The superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) I is known to be involved in regulation of higher aspects of motor function. Using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), we attempted to identify the SLF I and to investigate the anatomical characteristics of the SLF I in the human brain.
