White matter pathways identified in-vivo in individual human subjects, and previous studies.

Previous studies demonstrated the existence of these seven white matter pathways using histology in animals or MRI population studies. Besides the comprehensive quantification of the probability of connection between all basal ganglia and thalamus, we successfully reconstructed and visualized these pathways in individual human subjects using high resolution 7T MRI.

既往研究通过动物组织学或MRI人群研究证实了这七条白质通路的存在。除对基底神经节与丘脑之间连接概率的全面量化外，我们还利用高分辨率7T MRI成功重建并可视化了个别受试者的这些通路。
