A diffusion tensor imaging tractography atlas for virtual in vivo dissections. (2008, background): “It is possible that the uncinate fasciculus is involved in emotion processing, memory (Gaffan and Wilson, 2008, this issue; Ross, 2008, this issue) and language functions (Catani and Mesulam, 2008b, this issue).”
Dissecting the uncinate fasciculus: disorders, controversies and a hypothesis. (2013, background): “The left uncinate fasciculus has frequently been associated with language function because it connects regions of the brain that have putative functions in language: the anterior temporal lobes and portions of the frontal lobes, both of which have been proposed to encode, store and retrieve semantic”
Anatomical Properties of the Arcuate Fasciculus Predict Phonological and Reading Skills in Children (2011, positive): “…hypothesized that a lesion to fronto-temporal white matter connections should produce impaired speech repetition with relatively spared speech production and comprehension, a syndrome later confirmed and termed conduction aphasia (Catani & Mesulam, 2008; Catani & Ffytche, 2005; Lichtheim, 1885).”
The cortical dynamics of speaking: present shortcomings and future avenues (2016, background): “…Hickok, 2012, 2014a; Pickering & Garrod, 2013), to reveal the white matter fibre tracks connecting the important language regions in the brain (e.g. Catani & Mesulam, 2008; Glasser & Rilling, 2008; Petrides & Pandya, 2009) and their functional role in the production of speech (e.g. Dell et al.,…”
The Neural Architecture of the Language Comprehension Network: Converging Evidence from Lesion and Connectivity Analyses (2011, background): “…(AF) has traditionally been viewed as the single critical WM pathway that provides the scaffolding for the language network (Dronkers et al., 2000a; Catani and Mesulam, 2008a; Friederici, 2009), the growing knowledge of WM anatomy indicates that the language network is subserved by a richer…”
