Purpose The arcuate fasciculus (AF) is a white matter fibers tract that links the lateral
temporal with the frontal cortex. The AF can be divided into three components: two …

Highlights•Semiology and anatomical bases for visuospatial and social cognition allows
understanding prerequisites to awake surgery.•The ventral frontal cortex and the …

Disruption of cortical connectivity likely contributes to loss of consciousness (LOC) during
both sleep and general anesthesia, but the degree of overlap in the underlying mechanisms …

The systems-level mechanisms underlying loss of consciousness (LOC) under anesthesia
remain unclear. General anesthetics suppress sensory responses within higher-order cortex …

Background Endogenous sex hormones and oral contraceptives (OCs) have been shown to
influence key regions implicated in fear processing. While OC use has been found to impact …

The description of human white matter pathways experienced a tremendous improvement,
thanks to the advancement of neuroimaging and dissection techniques. The downside of …

Visualizing major periventricular anatomical landmarks intraoperatively during brain tumor
removal is a decisive measure toward preserving such structures and thus the patient's …

Knowledge of both the spatial organization and functions of white-matter fiber tracts is
steadily increasing. We report here the anatomy and functions of the frontal aslant tract (FAT) …

Theories of consciousness suggest that brain mechanisms underlying transitions into and
out of unconsciousness are conserved no matter the context or precipitating conditions. We …

Understanding central auditory processing critically depends on defining underlying
auditory cortical networks and their relationship to the rest of the brain. We addressed these …
