Likert scale used to rate the tractography results.

Score	Quality	Description
1	Not reconstructed	The tract failed to be reconstructed.
2	Poor	The tract is present but significantly deviates from the expected anatomical pathway or includes incorrect routes. It may also suffer from very sparse streamline density, making the tract challenging to identify confidently.
3	Fair	The tract generally follows the correct pathway with some deviations. The route is plausible, but minor inaccuracies in streamline alignment or density may affect its clarity or anatomical accuracy.
4	Good	The tract closely adheres to the expected anatomical pathway with minimal deviations. The route accuracy is high, and the density of streamlines is sufficient to clearly define the tract’s structure without excessive sparsity or overcrowding.
5	Excellent	The tract matches the expected anatomical pathway with no deviations. Streamline density is optimal, providing a detailed, clear, and anatomically precise representation of the tract.
