Figure 8. Three distinct diffusion MR tractography pathways between the GE and the thalami at 18 GW.
(A) Pathways running through a yellow sphere placed in an anterior ganglionic eminence (GE) region. The anterior GE region was connected to middle regions of the thalami (yellow arrow). (Modified from Wilkinson et al., 2016). (B) Pathways running through yellow spheres placed in a dorsal GE region. Coronal (left) and axial (right) views are shown. The dorsal GE region was connected to dorsal superficial regions of the thalami (red arrows). (C) Pathways through yellow spheres placed in mid-posterior GE regions. The mid-posterior GE regions were connected to posterior and middle parts of the thalami, corresponding to the ventral complex (green arrows).
