Table 4. Tractographical approach for parieto-occipital tracts.
White matter tract | Seed mask | Waypoint and termination mask | Exclusion mask |
Optic radiation | Pericalcarine cortex | Eroded thalamus | All other cortical regions |
Dorsal visual stream | Pericalcarine cortex | Inferior parietal cortex | Thalamus |
Splenium of the corpus callosum | Left lateral occipital cortex | Right lateral occipital cortex* | All other cortical regions |
Posterior corona radiata (PCR) (occipital) | All occipital regions | Cerebral peduncle | All other cortical regions |
Posterior corona radiata (PCR) (parietal) | All parietal regions | Cerebral peduncle | All other cortical regions |
The Freesurfer seed, waypoint, termination, and exclusion masks used in fiber tractography to delineate examined parieto-occipital tracts. *For the tract through the splenium of the corpus callosum, a callosal waypoint mask was also used.
