ROI locations for tractography of the MTT. The first ROI (1) was selected over the vertical blue fibers of the mammillary bodies (ROI1). The second ROI (2) was selected on the axial level through anterior commissure (AC). The second ROI was added on the fibers generated in the region of the anterior thalamic nuclei (ROI2). Adding the second ROI by an AND operation will exclude possible contamination from the forniceal columns and stria terminalis due to close proximity of these structures with the MTT. The white arrow heads point at the precommissural fibers of the forniceal columns. The yellow arrow heads point to the postcommissural fibers of the fornix and stria terminalis. AC = anterior commissure; EC = external capsule; IC = internal capsule; Th = thalamus.
