When visual information enters the brain, it travels through two pathways that process different aspects of the input. For ...

Background Evaluation of the structural integrity and functional excitability of the corticospinal tract (CST) is likely to be important in predicting motor recovery after stroke. Previous reports are ...

MWF maps averaged from post-marathon sessions (24–48 hours, two weeks, and two months) revealed a decline in MWF in motor descending pathways ... pontine crossing tract, corticospinal tract ...

The study revealed a consistent reduction in MWF in 12 areas of white matter, with the most significant reductions – up to 28% and 26% – observed in the pontine crossing and corticospinal tracts ...

Given the connections between frontal and temporal regions, these anatomical pathways may serve to integrate ... prefrontal cortex via the UF and EmC tracts, and is involved in the mapping of ...

The present study attempted to close this knowledge gap and assess alterations in corticospinal coupling in chronic stroke and their relation to motor deficits. In this cross-sectional study, patients ...

The length of the highest probability path of these selected tracts were measured. The length of the pathway along the center voxel with the highest probability represents the most representative part ...
