title: The anatomical location of the corticoreticular pathway at the subcortical white matter in the human brain: A diffusion tensor imaging study.
abstract: We attempted to investigate the anatomical location of the corticoreticular pathway (CRP) in the subcortical white matter in the human. Thirty-three healthy volunteers were recruited. The locations of the CRP and corticospinal tract (CST) were defined as the location on axial slice of the centrum semiovale, corona radiata, and posterior limb of the internal capsule. The CRP was located close antero-medially to the CST in all three regions of subcortical white matter.
