Young aphasia case study: Structural MRI and tractography results of A. and matched control

A and B. Structural MRI of A.'s (23 y.o. woman with post-stroke aphasia) brain, depicting the lesion in sagittal, coronal and axial planes (top, A). Deterministic tractography (in vivo) of language-relevant tracts and corpus callosum in A. (bottom, A) and control (B).

A' and B'. Subdivision of the corpus callosum: genu, anterior midbody, conjoined posterior midbody with isthmus and splenium in A. (A') and in control (B'). Axial slices of the subdivisions are depicted in the superior (i.e., from the top of the head, left) and inferior view (i.e., from the bottom, right).

Abbreviations: AF = arcuate fasciculus; IFOF = inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus; ILF = inferior longitudinal fasciculus; UF = uncinate fasciculus; FAT: frontal aslant tract; CC = corpus callosum.

Images are depicted in neurological convention (i.e., left hemisphere on the left-hand side).
