چکیده
inverse transform of the subject FA map into standard space were combined in order to map the labelled white matter atlas into subject space, (B) regions associated with working memory identified on the atlas in the frontal (yellow), temporal (red) and parietal (green) lobes, (C) sagittal and axial projections of retained FT, FP and TP tracts for the 10 subjects in the middle-aged group overlaid onto an average FA map in standard space.

DT-MRI Tractography and its Application in Cognitive Neuroscience
Recent advancement of MRI techniques and development of new methods of image analysis have allowed us to study large neural tracts within the human brain. This is based on the principle of diffusion tensor MRI that is similar to that of diffusion-weighted imaging but takes magnitude and direction of the diffusion of water into account. Using this technique we have been able to define large neur...

متن کاملAtlas-based segmentation of white matter tracts of the human brain using diffusion tensor tractography and comparison with classical dissection
The technique of diffusion tensor tractography is gaining increasing prominence as a non-invasive method for studying the architecture of the white matter pathways in the human brain. Numerous studies have been published that attempt to identify or reconstruct particular pathways of interest. An atlas or map of all the pathways in the white matter would be particularly useful for providing deta...
متن کاملAtlas-Guided Cluster Analysis of Large Tractography Datasets
Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and fiber tractography are important tools to map the cerebral white matter microstructure in vivo and to model the underlying axonal pathways in the brain with three-dimensional fiber tracts. As the fast and consistent extraction of anatomically correct fiber bundles for multiple datasets is still challenging, we present a novel atlas-guided clustering framework ...
