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.

TL;DR: The connections of the rostralmost part of the cingulate gyrus resemble the efferent cortical connectional patterns described for lateral prefrontal and orbito-frontal cortex, whereas the projections of areas 24 and 23 are directed to the neocortical, the paralimbic and the limbic areas.
Association fiber pathways to the frontal cortex from the superior temporal region in the rhesus monkey.
TL;DR: The results demonstrated that the rostral part of the superior temporal gyrus projects to the proisocortical areas of the orbital and medial frontal cortex, as well as to the nearby orbital areas 13, 12, and 11, and to medial areas 9, 10, and 14.
Corticostriatal connections of extrastriate visual areas in rhesus monkeys.
TL;DR: The striatal connections of extrastriate visual areas were examined by the autoradiographic technique in rhesus monkeys and the caudal inferotemporal cortex is related strongly to the tail of the caUDate nucleus and to the ventral putamen.
Surgical Aspects of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Results and Problems
TL;DR: The Montreal Neurological Institute's experience with cortical resection for medically refractory temporal lobe epilepsy had grown to 1,102 patients as of the end of 1978, 932 in the non-tumoral category and 170 patients with tumors, including a few major vascular malformations.

TL;DR: Among the authors' patients was a bookkeeper with a severe form of sensory aphasia who could still draw up the annual balance sheet in spite of severe disturbances of speech and although he was unable to remember the names of his subordinates and used to refer to them incorrectly.
