With the advances in diffusion MRI and tractography, numerous atlases of the human
pyramidal tract (PyT) have been proposed, but the inherent limitation of tractography to …

The brainstem is a critical structure that regulates vital autonomic functions, houses the
cranial nerves and their nuclei, relays motor and sensory information between the brain and …

Conventional atlases of the human brainstem are limited by the inflexible, sparsely-sampled,
two-dimensional nature of histology, or the low spatial resolution of conventional magnetic …

Background and Purpose—Tractography by diffusion tensor imaging has extended our
knowledge on the contribution of damage to different pathways to residual motor function …

Background and Purpose—Aside from the primary motor cortex, the corticospinal tract (CST)
also receives fibers from dorsal and ventral premotor cortices and supplementary motor …

Purpose To identify reproducible anatomical landmarks that would allow predicting the
course of the pyramidal tract (PT) through centrum semiovale. Materials and Methods A total …

Tractography combined with regions of interest (ROIs) has been used to non-invasively
study the structural connectivity of the cortex as well as to assess the reliability of these …

Structural brain imaging has continuously furthered our knowledge how different pathways
of the human motor system contribute to residual motor output in stroke patients. Tract …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data are usually registered into standard
anatomical space. However, standard atlases, such as LPBA40, the Harvard–Oxford atlas …

Anisotropy of descending motor pathways has repeatedly been linked to the severity of
motor impairment following stroke-related damage to the corticospinal tract. Despite …
