Deciphering the frontostriatal circuitry through the fiber dissection technique: direct structural evidence on the morphology and axonal connectivity of the fronto-caudate tract.

CONCLUSIONS: By using the fiber microdissection technique, the authors provide sound structural evidence on the topography, morphology, and connectional anatomy of the FCT as a distinct part of a wider frontostriatal circuitry. The findings are in line with the tract's putative functional implications in high-order motor and behavioral processes and can potentially inform current surgical practice in the fields of neuro-oncology and functional neurosurgery.
