The anatomy of the brain is extremely complex, and certain, even large structures, such as the corticospinal tract (CST), remain poorly understood. Diffusion tractography provides an opportunity to explore the white matter tracts in a fundamentally new way. In the current paper, we show how this technique has already added to our understanding of the anatomy of the CST. We also explore the future projects involving diffusion tractography of the motor white matter tracts that will advance this method and further our understanding of brain anatomy.
