Exploring brain connectivity is fundamental to
understanding the functional architecture of the cortex.
In our study we employed tractography, combined with the
principal component analysis statistical framework, to
divide the occipital lobes into eight areas showing
sharp differences in their anatomical connectivity in a
group of eighteen healthy participants. Our results
showed similarities with functional imaging data in
healthy controls and cognitive profiles in brain-damaged
patients. Taken together these results provide a new
promising anatomical subdivision of the living human
brain based on its anatomical connectivity,which may
benefit neuroanatomical dissociations and functional
neuroimaging results.
