In vivo magnetic resonance imaging of the human limbic white matter

摘要: The limbic system mediates memory, behavior, and emotional output in the human brain, is implicated pathology of Alzheimer’s disease a wide spectrum related neurological disorders. In vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) structural components comprising their interconnections via white matter pathways brain has helped define current understanding model based on classical circuit proposed by Papez. MRI techniques, including diffusion MR imaging, provide non-invasive method to characterize tracts system, investigate pathological changes that affect these clinical settings. This review focuses delineation anatomy major namely, cingulum, fornix fimbria, stria terminalis, contrasts. detailed morphology intricate trajectories can be identified using relaxometry-based diffusion-weighted an important anatomical reference for evaluation disorders commonly associated with pathology.
