Color Imaging of Cortical
Efferent Pathways
1. Cortical efferent fibers
2. Midline fibers of the corpus callosum
3. Superior cerebellar peduncle
4. Pyramids
Comment: Diffusion tensor imaging demonstrates cortical efferent
pathways, shown in blue. Cortical efferent fibers from widespread
regions of the cerebral cortex project to structures in the forebrain
(e.g., basal ganglia), thalamus, brain stem, cerebellum, and spinal
cord. Additional cortical association pathways are depicted in green,
and commissural pathways are depicted in red.
