In surgery to remove brain tumors located close to the pyramidal tracts, the aim is to preserve motor function while removing as much of the tumor as possible. Motor function is best measured during ...

In the CNS, sensory pathways form ascending fibers that relay sensory stimuli to higher brain centers. Descending fibers send motor command and regulatory signals down from the brain. In the spinal ...

After development of diffusion tensor tractography (DTT), which is derived from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), three-dimensional reconstruction and estimation for three motor tracts, such as the ...
