Using behavioral and language assessments and MRI scans, the study found that the volume of the children's arcuate fasciculus correlated with their pre-reading skills.

In a study of babies between four and 18 months, the Gaab Lab found that the arcuate fasciculus in babies with an older sibling or parent with dyslexia had less integrity than babies without that familial predisposition.

The vertical occipital fasciculus, or VOF, is identified in a postmortem human brain in 1909, but labeled with a different name.

The vertical occipital fasciculus (VOF) debuted in an atlas by German psychiatrist and anatomist Carl Wernicke in 1881.

In a new study published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology, neuroscientists from the University of Chicago show that white matter in a region of the brain called the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) has less integrity and density in people with IED than in healthy individuals and those with other psychiatric disorders.

«Kevin found an atlas, written by Carl Wernicke near the turn of the (20th) century, that depicted the vertical occipital fasciculus,» Yeatman said.

Looking at drawings of the brain from this time period, Yeatman and coauthors saw that the fiber pathway that they were looking for appeared in brain atlases but was called different things, including «Wernicke's perpendicular fasciculus,» «perpendicular occipital fasciculus of Wernicke,» and «stratum profundum convexitatis.»

In the paper, published Nov. 17 by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the team describes the history and controversy of the elusive brain pathway, explains how modern MRI techniques rediscovered it, and gives analytical tools researchers can use to identify the brain structure — now known as the vertical occipital fasciculus.

When compared to the control group, type 2 patients showed decreased integrity in the white matter of two different areas in the brain — the cingulum bundle, which is a fiber tract that connects regions in the default - mode network, and the uncinate fasciculus, which connects regions important for executive function and memory.

Gray matter may be less dense, and the highway of the arcuate fasciculus is less effective.

The vestibular nuclei send fibers forward in the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) which coordinates ocular movements, projects fibers to the spinal cord as the vestibulospinal tract and descending MLF, projects fibers to the cerebellum, and sends fibers to various structures in the brainstem including the emetic center.

TBSS demonstrated that IAD had significantly lower FA than controls throughout the brain, including the orbito - frontal white matter, corpus callosum, cingulum, inferior fronto - occipital fasciculus, and corona radiation, internal and external capsules, while exhibiting no areas of higher FA.

In such cases it is possible that impaired fibre connections (e.g. reduced functional anisotropy in the uncinate fasciculus) to and from this area cause the neuronal differences observed [151].

For example, the uncinate fasciculus is a white - matter tract connecting the amygdala and neighbouring anterior temporal lobe with the orbitofrontal cortex and it thus may be involved in facilitating empathy, emotion regulation and socio - cognitive processes [150].
