Definitions of ROIs drawn manually to delineate WM tracts

Tract Inclusion ROI 1 Inclusion ROI 2 Exclusion ROI
UF Entire temporal lobe identified in coronal plane at level where frontal and temporal lobe are no longer connected All projections into frontal lobe Fibers which project into anterior limb of external capsule and posteriorly
IFOF Occipital lobe selected in coronal plane identified halfway between posterior edge of cingulum and posterior of the brain Entire hemisphere in coronal plane at level of the genu of CC identified in mid-sagittal slice Fibers crossing medially through anterior commissure
ILF Entire hemisphere selected in coronal plane at posterior edge of cingulum identified at mid-sagittal slice Entire temporal lobe identified in the coronal plane at level where frontal and temporal lobe are no longer connected Fibers that track medially into fornix and CC
SLF Identified in coronal plane at lowest axial level in which fornix can be identified as a single structure Projections passing through coronal plane at level of splenium of CC identified in mid-sagittal slice Fiber that project into external capsule

UF, uncinate fasciculus; IFOF, inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus; ILF, inferior longitudinal fasciculus; SLF, superior longitudinal fasciculus; CC, corpus callosum.
