ABSTRACT The superior longitudinal fasciculus/arcuate white matter complex (SLF/AC) is the largest and most tract of human cerebrum with multiple inter-linked connections encompassing cognitive functions such as language, attention, memory, emotion, visuospatial function. However, little known regarding overall connectivity this complex. Recently, Human Connectome Project parcellated cortex into 180 distinct regions. Utilizing diffusion spectrum magnetic resonance imaging tractography coupled parcellation data presented earlier in supplement, we aim to describe macro-connectome SLF/AC relation linked parcellations present within cortex. purpose study information an indexed, illustrated, tractographically aided series figures tables for anatomic clinical reference.
