Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) study showing topographical connections between the cortex and BG in humans. Each frontal cortical area projects to different territories in the BG. Limbic (red: medial and orbital frontal cortices), associative (yellow: dorsolateral prefrontal cortex), higher motor (green: premotor cortex) and motor (blue: motor cortex) cortical territories project to corresponding territories in the BG according to a topographical distribution.
