Cognitive processing speed and the structure of white matter pathways: Convergent evidence from normal variation and lesion studies (2008, positive): “Long distance transmission of signals across the cerebrum depends upon the ability of long association tracts to reduce signal degradation (Catani and ffytche, 2005).”
Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI)-based White Matter Mapping in Brain Research: A Review (2007, background): “In recent years the hypothesis of disconnection syndrome as a crucial contributor to psychiatric disorders has become increasingly popular, pointing to white matter involvement in such diseases (Catani and Ffytche 2005; Magaro and Page 1983).”
What is normal in normal aging? Effects of Aging, Amyloid and Alzheimer’s Disease on the Cerebral Cortex and the Hippocampus (2014, background): “undergone especially large changes from nonhuman primates to humans, have the most complex columnar organization and are slow to reach mature levels of myelin (Catani and Ffytche, 2005).”
Investigating white matter fibre density and morphology using fixel-based analysis (2017, methodology): “The importance of white matter axons facilitating microsecond communication between different brain regions is evident from the severe brain dysfunction that arises in disconnection syndromes (Catani and Ffytche, 2005).”
Semantic Processing in the Anterior Temporal Lobes: A Meta-analysis of the Functional Neuroimaging Literature (2010, background): “These activated regions overlapwith the areas implicated by patients with semantic aphasia, and the convergence of these literatures has led some researchers to conclude that the critical neural substrate for semantic memory is outside the ATLs (Martin, 2007; Catani & Ffytche, 2005).”
Brain graphs: graphical models of the human brain connectome. (2011, background): “…substrate for changes in anatomical or functional connectivity, measured by statistical association between regions at the systems level of neuroimaging, it is difficult to predict how changes in such descriptive statistics should be related to cognitive or behavioral performance of the system.”
Improving Lesion-Symptom Mapping (2007, background): “…injury and testing and residual perfusion of the spared brain (Fridriksson, Rorden, Morgan, Morrow, & Baylis, 2006), functional disconnection (Catani & ffytche, 2005), quality of the lesions, and the accuracy in normalizing lesion maps into a standard stereotaxic space (Brett, Leff, Rorden,…”
Dissecting the uncinate fasciculus: disorders, controversies and a hypothesis. (2013, background): “…in detail (Horel and Misantone, 1976; Ebeling and von Cramon, 1992; Ghashghaei and Barbas, 2002; Kier et al., 2004; Kringelbach and Rolls, 2004; Catani and ffytche, 2005; Schmahmann et al., 2008; Choi et al., 2010; Noonan et al., 2010; Peltier et al., 2010; Lehman et al., 2011; Thiebaut de…”
Application of Graph Theory for Identifying Connectivity Patterns in Human Brain Networks: A Systematic Review (2019, result): “Catani and Ffytche (2005) elaborated the rises and fall of disconnection syndromes and pointed out that many neurological disorders can be explained via these syndromes, in line with the studies of pioneers in neurology and psychiatry such as Meynert, Wernicke, and Dejerine.”
Semantic impairment in stroke aphasia versus semantic dementia: a case-series comparison. (2006, background): “…least those using fMRI; see Introduction) have also emphasized the importance of left inferior frontal and temporoparietal areas in semantic processing, some reviews of the neural basis of comprehension have made no mention of the anterior temporal lobes (Mesulam, 1998; Catani and Ffytche, 2005).”
The Phonological Loop (2010, methodology): “More precisely, in the dorsal pathway, Catani and ffytche (2005) and Frey et al. (2008) described the same tripartite organization previously depicted by us (Aboitiz and Garcı́a 1997) and consisting of (i) a long, direct pathway connecting the posterior superior temporal gyrus with area 44 (but…”
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).”
