Connectional neuroanatomy: the changing scene.
نویسنده
چکیده
This article gives a brief overview of cortical connectivity, as this has been investigated by anatomic tracer studies over the past 25 years. Open questions are discussed, from the perspective that connectivity studies are in a transition period when both techniques and conceptual frameworks are rapidly changing.

Elevated thalamic dopamine: possible link to sensory dysfunctions in schizophrenia.
Sensory-processing dysfunctions, deficit states, and the combinations of seemingly disparate behavioral symptoms of schizophrenia are addressed with regard to a common thread--the possibility of dysfunctional processing in the thalamus. Recent views of the connectional neuroanatomy and electrical activity of thalamus are examined. A hypothesis is presented in which disturbances in the timing an...
متن کاملThe tract terminations in the temporal lobe: Their location and associated functions
Temporal lobe networks are associated with multiple cognitive domains. Despite an upsurge of interest in connectional neuroanatomy, the terminations of the main fibre tracts in the human brain are yet to be mapped. This information is essential given that neurological, neuroanatomical and computational accounts expect neural functions to be strongly shaped by the pattern of white-matter connect...
متن کاملFunctional neuroanatomy of auditory scene analysis in Alzheimer's disease
Auditory scene analysis is a demanding computational process that is performed automatically and efficiently by the healthy brain but vulnerable to the neurodegenerative pathology of Alzheimer's disease. Here we assessed the functional neuroanatomy of auditory scene analysis in Alzheimer's disease using the well-known 'cocktail party effect' as a model paradigm whereby stored templates for audi...
متن کاملFunctional neuroanatomy of spatial sound processing in Alzheimer's disease
Deficits of auditory scene analysis accompany Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the functional neuroanatomy of spatial sound processing has not been defined in AD. We addressed this using a "sparse" fMRI virtual auditory spatial paradigm in 14 patients with typical AD in relation to 16 healthy age-matched individuals. Sound stimulus sequences discretely varied perceived spatial location and pi...
متن کاملThe connectional organization of the cortico-thalamic system of the cat.
Data on connections between the areas of the cerebral cortex and nuclei of the thalamus are too complicated to analyse with naked intuition. Indeed, the complexity of connection data is one of the major challenges facing neuroanatomy. Recently, systematic methods have been developed and applied to the analysis of the connectivity in the cerebral cortex. These approaches have shed light on the g...
