White matter tractography

Tractography of the illustrated fibers was created using the Autotrack function of DSI Studio software  based on the averaged HCP-1065 young adult fiber templates (1 mm resolution) of the WU-Minn Consortium (Yeh FC. Population-based tract-to-region connectome of the human brain and its hierarchical topology. Nat Commun. 2022;13(1):4933. Published 2022 Aug 22. doi:10.1038/s41467-022-32595-4. A total of 3000-15000 tracts were generated for each pathway and were further filtered for false and unrelated fibers employing the default pathway recognition of the software based on the included tractography atlas (Yeh FC, Panesar S, Fernandes D, et al. Population-averaged atlas of the macroscale human structural connectome and its network topology. Neuroimage. 2018;178:57-68. doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2018.05.027)
