Abstract

White fiber anatomy is classified according to its function: association, commissural, and projection. The most studied are the superior longitudinal fascicle, inferior longitudinal fascicle, uncinate fascicle, and inferior frontal occipital fascicle, because of their anatomy and function. In this experimental investigative study in the laboratory, the Klingler technique was used for white matter fiber dissection of ten normal brains. During this period, we observed the anatomical and clinical correlation of the superior longitudinal fascicle, inferior longitudinal fascicle, uncinate fascicle, and inferior frontal occipital fascicle. This study allowed us to understand the important part of dissection in anatomy studies, even with the presence of more modern techniques such as tractography.
