Atlas of White Matter Tractography and Cross-Section Dissections of the Brain
摘要
White matter, or medulla, refers to myelinated axons in the central nervous system. It is an important constituent of the brain (telencephalon), consisting of fiber tracts that connect the cortex of different brain regions and deep nuclei. Action potentials are transmitted between gray matter via white matter. Efficient white matter connectivity is the structural basis for brain function. The study of white matter tract atlas is paramount to diagnosing and treating brain diseases and protecting brain function.
