Resting-state fMRI networks are generally organized with a bilateral structure in humans and rodents. Yet, a number of these networks are not supported by direct synaptic connections. This is the case for the caudate-putamen, which is part of the dorsal striatum network in mice. An intermediately region is assumed to relay the information between the two regions; however, such a region is not apparent on the functional connectivity maps. We first compared DTI based tractography in mice with injection-based tractography available from the Allen institute database. We then used probabilistic tracking to identify the fibers involved between each functional network.
