Confirmation of functional zones within the human subthalamic nucleus: Patterns of connectivity and sub-parcellation using diffusion weighted imaging
2012
NeuroImage
In this work, a data driven method with diffusion weighted imaging demonstrated that three distinct clusters exist within the human STN based on brain connectivity profiles. ...
The local connectivity of each sub-region supported the hypothesis of bilateral limbic, associative and motor regions occupying the anterior, mid and posterior portions of the nucleus respectively. ...

In vivo 3D Reconstruction of the Human Pallidothalamic and Nigrothalamic Pathways With Super-Resolution 7T MR Track Density Imaging and Fiber Tractography
2021
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy
In this study, track-density imaging (TDI) of the whole human brain was employed to overcome the limitations of observing the pallidothalamic and nigrothalamic tracts. ...
However, these connections in the human brain remain difficult to elucidate because of the resolution limit of current neuroimaging techniques. ...
In this study, we obtained ultra-high-resolution structural and diffusion-weighted MR images of the human brain in vivo at 7T. ...
