Functional Anatomy of the Brain: A View from the Surgeon’s Eye

Abstract

White matter fiber dissection is a technical procedure used in neuroanatomy studies to gain a comprehensive three-dimensional understanding of both gray and white matter anatomy as well as deep nuclei [1]. While difficult and time consuming, this technique is critical for constructing a proper conceptual notion about accurate intrinsic brain anatomy and architecture. This method is the legacy of many early anatomists [2–8].
