This unique volume is a comprehensive, well-illustrated study of the organization of the white matter pathways of the brain. Schmahmann and Pandya have analyzed and synthesized the corticocortical and corticosubcortical connections of the major areas of the cerebral cortex of the rhesus monkey. The result is a detailed understanding of the constituents of the cerebral white matter and the organization of the fiber tracts. The findings from the 36 cases studied are presented on a single template brain, facilitating comparison of the locations of the different fiber pathways. The summary diagrams provide a comprehensive atlas of the cerebral white matter. The text is enriched by close attention to functional aspects of the anatomical observations. The clinical relevance of the pathways is addressed throughout the text and a chapter is devoted to human white matter diseases. The introductory account gives a detailed historical background. Translations of seminal original observations by early investigators are presented, and when these are considered in the light of the authors' new observations, many longstanding conflicts and debates are resolved. This scholarly book is an important addition to systems and cognitive neuroscience that will be of lasting value to neurobiologists, anatomists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and to their students and trainees.

Fiber Pathways of the Brain

Publisher Summary This chapter determines the boundaries of cortical somatic areas, which are of value in studying the role of these areas in neurological and behavioral functions. Somatic areas consist of at least four distinguishable, somatotopically-organized regions. Those regions include (1) somatic sensory-motor area I ( SmI) for the postcentral gyrus and its homologs in nonprimate forms, (2) somatic sensory-motor area II ( SmII) for the second sensory area, (3) somatic motor-sensory area I (MsI) for the precentral motor area, and (4) somatic motor-sensory area II ( MsII) for the supplementary motor area. Each of them appears to be concerned with both sensory and motor functions. The investigation of the functional mechanisms of these somatic areas is one of the main problems in neurophysiology. Researchers have proceeded on the supposition that if the modification of the patterns of neural activity entering a somatic area occurring across intracortical synaptic relays, and the spatial and temporal patterns going out of the region, can be determined, the researchers will be able to reconstruct a better way in which the particular cortical region operates. A self-regulating feedback circuit has been established because somatic areas can act back on the cerebellar system.
