Diffusion tensor tractography of the temporal stem on the inferior limiting sulcus.

Object: The aim of this study was to use diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) to define the 3D relationships of the uncinate fasciculus, anterior commissure, inferior occipitofrontal fasciculus, inferior thalamic peduncle, and optic radiation and to determine the positioning landmarks of these white matter tracts.

Methods: The anatomy was studied in 10 adult human brain specimens. Brain DTT was performed in 10 healthy volunteers.
