MRI diffusion tensor tracking of a new amygdalo‐fusiform and hippocampo‐fusiform pathway system in humans

Abstract

A previously-undescribed pathway system interconnecting the mid-fusiform region with the amygdala/hippocampus has been revealed. This pathway system may be important for recognition, memory consolidation, and emotional modulation of face, object, and lexical information, which may be disrupted in conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.
