Brain - Language Perisylvian Connections

Averaged tractography reconstruction by using a two-region of interest approach. It shows a three-way connection between the superior temporal, inferior parietal, and the lateral frontal cortex.

• red - The direct connection between the superior temporal and lateral frontal cortex.
• yellow - The posterior segment of the indirect connection, running from the superior temporal to the inferior parietal cortex.
• green - The anterior segment of the indirect connection, running from the inferior parietal to the lateral frontal cortex.

"By using diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DTI) and subsequent tractography, a perisylvian language network in the human left hemisphere recently has been identified connecting Brocas's and Wernicke's areas directly (arcuate fasciculus) and indirectly by a pathway through the inferior parietal cortex."
