a
The JHU ROI atlas notes that the sagittal stratum includes inferior longitudinal fasciculus and inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus.
b
The JHU ROI atlas denotes this ROI as being part of the SLF, but it is noteworthy that it is difficult to distinguish between SLF and arcuate fasciculus fibers in this region.
