Cortex-sparing fiber dissection of the SLF. (A) Fiber dissection of the vertical segment of the SLF in a right hemisphere. The tract has been tilted and separated from the deeply located AF. Red spheres mark the central sulcus, yellow spheres mark the intraparietal sulcus and the intermediate sulcus of Jensen, green spheres mark the Sylvian fissure, and blue spheres mark the cortical connections of the vertical segment of the SLF. (B) In this left hemisphere the horizontal segment of the SLF has been tilted and separated from the deeply located AF. (A and B) The isolated tracts with preservation of brain structure. (C) DTI tractography reconstruction of the three components of the SLF in a left hemisphere. 1, vertical segment of the SLF; 2, middle temporal gyrus; 3, angular gyrus; 4, superior temporal gyrus; 5, precentral gyrus; 6, postcentral gyrus; 7, supramarginal gyrus; 8, sylvian fissure; 9, horizontal segment of the SLF; 10, AF; 11, inferior temporal gyrus; 12, occipital lobe. Ant, anterior; Post, posterior.
