Delineation of the Middle Longitudinal Fascicle in Humans: A Quantitative, In Vivo, DT-MRI Study
Open accessAbstract
Experimental and imaging studies in monkeys have outlined various long association fiber bundles within the temporoparietal region. In the present study the trajectory of the middle longitudinal fascicle (MdLF) has been delineated in 4 human subjects using diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging segmentation and tractography. The MdLF seems to extend from the inferior parietal lobule (IPL), specifically the angular gyrus, to the temporal pole remaining within the white matter of the superior temporal gyrus (STG). Comparison of the superior longitudinal fascicle II-arcuate fascicle (SLF II-AF) with the MdLF in the same subjects revealed that MdLF is located in a medial and caudal position relative to SLF II-AF and that it extends more rostrally. Given the location of MdLF between the IPL (angular gyrus) and the STG, it is suggested that MdLF could have a role in language and attention functions.

In the citing paper
“Indeed, some studies even describe a fifth division of the SLF comprised of a distinct fasciculus (61–63) that would connect the superior temporal gyrus to the superior parietal.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
