It also contains the dendritic arbors of Purkinje neurons and parallel fiber tracts from the granule cells.

On uncrushed white matter, neurites extended in parallel with the fiber tracts, as previously reported [ 22].

Although myelin clearance within the peritraumatic region of central fiber tracts begins soon after injury, this clearance proceeds slowly.

This difference in fractional anisotropy is exploited to create a map of the fiber tracts in the brains of the individual.

As water enters white matter it moves extracellularly along fiber tracts and can also affect the gray matter.

Bundles of fiber tracts make the water diffuse asymmetrically in a tensor, the major axis parallel to the direction of the fibers.

Suppose there is a fiber tract of interest in the sample.

Following the Frenet-Serret formulas, we can formulate the space-path of the fiber tract as a parametrized curve:

This is similar to the appearance of fiber tracts sectioned transversely [ 22].

In the brain, the angular bundle is a composite fiber tract within the ventrolateral aspect of the lateral ventricle's temporal horn.
