Figure 4. Average white matter tracts connecting to the VWFA.

Figure 4

The top panel shows a heat-map of the number of subjects (N=27) with VWFA white matter connections passing through each voxel. Three distinct fiber tracts are consistently identified across subjects: The inferior longitudinal fasciculus (ILF, see sagittal slice), the vertical occipital fasciculus (VOF, see coronal slice) and the inferior frontal occipital fasciculus (IFOF, see axial slice). The location of the occipital temporal sulcus (OTS) is marked on the coronal plane. The bottom panel shows the cortical endpoints of these tracts displayed on a 3-dimensional rendering of a subject's cortical surface.
