| summary | Brain hodology is the science of connectional anatomy and despite several decades of tracing studies in animals, our knowledge of human brain connections has progressed very little since the beginning of the last century. Fortunately, over the last 10 years, we have seen a spectacular development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for the study of connections in the living human brain. One technique for exploring white matter pathways in vivo is diffusion tensor MRI (DT-MRI) tractography. Despite some limitations, DT-MRI tractography is a promising technique to explore the anatomical basis of human cognition and its disorders. This new technique, in combination with functional mapping, reinvigorates the journey along Wernicke’s 120-years-old associationist path, signposting future directions for contemporary cognitive and behavioural neurology. |
