The superior longitudinal fasciculus/arcuate white matter complex (SLF/AC) is the largest and most complex white matter tract of the human cerebrum with multiple inter-linked connections encompassing multiple cognitive functions such as language, attention, memory, emotion, and visuospatial function. However, little is known regarding the overall connectivity of this complex. Recently, the Human Connectome Project parcellated the human cortex into 180 distinct regions. Utilizing diffusion spectrum magnetic resonance imaging tractography coupled with the human cortex parcellation data presented earlier in this supplement, we aim to describe the macro-connectome of the SLF/AC in relation to the linked parcellations present within the human cortex. The purpose of this study is to present this information in an indexed, illustrated, and tractographically aided series of figures and tables for anatomic and clinical reference.
上纵束/弓状白质复合体（SLF/AC）是人类大脑中最大和最复杂的白质束，具有多个相互关联的连接，包括多种认知功能，如语言、注意力、记忆、情感和视空间功能。然而，对于这个复合体的整体连接性知之甚少。最近，人类连接组计划将人类大脑皮层划分为 180 个不同的区域。利用弥散张量磁共振成像纤维束追踪技术，并结合本增刊中之前呈现的人类大脑皮层分区数据，我们旨在描述与人类大脑皮层中存在的连接分区相关的 SLF/AC 的宏观连接组。本研究的目的是为解剖学和临床参考提供以索引、插图和纤维束追踪辅助的一系列图表来呈现这些信息。
