Structure, asymmetry, and connectivity of the human temporo-parietal aslant and vertical occipital fasciculi

We previously proposed a bipartite 'dorsal-ventral' model of human arcuate fasciculus (AF) morphology. This model does not, however, account for the 'vertical,' temporo-parietal subdivision of the AF described in earlier dissection and tractographic studies. In an effort to address the absence of the vertical AF (VAF) within 'dorsal-ventral' nomenclature, we conducted a dedicated tractographic and white-matter dissection study of this tract and...
