Using diffusion imaging to study human connectional anatomy. (2009, background): “For example, studies of the macaque monkey have shown that although it is not unusual for brain areas to share some common connections with other regions, their overall connection patterns differ from one another.”
Diffusion MRI at 25: Exploring brain tissue structure and function (2012, background): “…have also shown that individual differences in the organization of language pathways linking the inferior frontal and superior temporal lobe have functional relevance: people with a more symmetrical pattern of connections have better recall of semantically associated words (Catani et al., 2007).”
