Diffusion-weighted MRI based fiber tractography (FT) is widely used and its methodology is constantly improving. Despite the many pitfalls and limitations of FT, we present a description of fiber tract pathways in the orbitofrontal / prefrontal cortex, which to the best of our knowledge have not been reported before with FT. A consistent tract configuration across multiple subjects and different data cohorts was observed which boost our confidence that this finding is not based on artifacts.
