Figure 2

Left illustration depicts the direct pathway from the posterior cortices to the prefrontal cortex. The inferior occipitofrontal fasciculus connects the posterior temporal areas and the orbital and lateral prefrontal regions. Middle illustration consists of the first segment of the indirect pathway. The inferior longitudinal fasciculus links the posterior occipitotemporal regions with the temporal pole and this fiber tract courses underneath the inferior occipitofrontal fasciculus. Right illustration depicts the second component of the indirect pathway. The uncinate fasciculus connects the anterior and medial temporal lobe with the orbitofrontal regions.
