Abstract: 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.

The neural and computational bases of semantic cognition
TL;DR: This Review summarizes key findings and issues arising from a decade of research into the neurocognitive and neurocomputational underpinnings of semantic cognition, leading to a new framework that is term controlled semantic cognition (CSC).

TL;DR: The function of the dorsal route, traditionally considered to be the major language pathway, is mainly restricted to sensory-motor mapping ofsound to articulation, whereas linguistic processing of sound to meaning requires temporofrontal interaction transmitted via the ventral route.

Anatomically-constrained tractography: Improved diffusion MRI streamlines tractography through effective use of anatomical information
TL;DR: Results indicate that some of the known false positives associated with tractography algorithms are prevented, such that the biological accuracy of the reconstructions should be improved, provided that state-of-the-art streamlines tractography methods are used.

TL;DR: By replicating the major features of these tracts identified by histological techniques in monkey, it is shown that DSI has the potential to cast new light on the organization of the human brain in the normal state and in clinical disorders.
