Functional roles of the Superior Longitudinal Fasciculus (SLF). Panel ‘a’ displays the cortical projections of the three branches of the SLF (lateral and medial view). Panel ‘b’ shows their functional correlates. We quantified the contribution of the SLFs to the spatial/motor and non-spatial/motor fronto-parietal meta-analytic maps. The SLF I appears to be primarily involved in spatial/motor functions, whereas the SLF III in non-spatial/motor functions. The SLF II was associated with both functions (see also Fig. 5b). Average Z values of the functional maps at the location of the projections of the three branches of the SLF (with a 50% threshold) are reported. Error bars indicate confidence intervals (p<0.001).
