Association Fiber Tracts: Connecting Cortical Areas Within a Hemisphere
Association fiber tracts are white matter pathways that connect different regions within the same cerebral hemisphere.
Three Types
- Arcuate fibers: Connect adjacent gyri within a lobe, arching over the sulcus
- U-fibers: Connect gyri within a lobe but run straight, not arching
- Fasciculus fibers (long association fibers): Connect different lobes (e.g., arcuate fasciculus, uncinate fasciculus)
