The left IFG has been shown to be structurally (Suzuki 2005) sample (27 NC and 25 HC) in both hemispheres. The IFG was then subdivided into three subregions: pars orbitalis, pars triangularis, and pars and functionally (Kubicki 2003, Ragland 2004) abnormal in schizophrenia. opercularis. The ROIs were traced on an automated tissue segmentation to improve the reliability of the volume measurement. Tracing was done using 3D Slicer (www.slicer.org) using boundary definitions adapted from previous volumetric studies of the IFG (Suzuki 2005, Tomaiuolo 1999). The IFG is composed of three subregions separable by sulcal landmarks: pars orbitalis, pars triangularis, and pars opercularis. Though the functional differences of the subregions are not entirely clear, they are ROI Definition Inferior Frontal Sulcus Inferior Frontal Sulcus Precentral Sulcus cytoarchitectonically distinct. Voxel-Based Morphometry is a whole-brain comparison of brain tissue composition between groups. A VBM comparison of healthy controls (HC) and chronic schizophrenic (SZ) patients showed volume reduction of the right thalamus and left inferior frontal gyrus, specifically the pars opercularis subregion, in the SZ group. To confirm the volume reduction in the left inferior frontal gyrus, the ROI was manually traced on a subset of the same sample. The left and right inferior frontal gyri were divided into three subregions, the pars orbitalis, pars triangularis, and pars opercularis, based on sulcal boundaries. Voxel Based Morphometry Voxel-Based Morphometry (VBM) provides a whole-brain, voxel by voxel comparison of brain tissue Lateral Orbital Sulcus Circular Insular Sulcus Horizontal Ramus Vertical Ramus composition that is rapid and unbiased. After MR images of subject brains are warped to a standard template to correct for global anatomical differences, a voxel-wise comparison is created in the form of a statistical Superior and inferior boundaries: parametric map (SPM) to assess group differences in grey matter density. The inferior frontal sulcus was the superior boundary for the entire IFG. The inferior boundary was the circular insular sulcus in all slices where the insula was visible, and the lateral orbital sulcus in all other slices. In Optimized VBM, the method is improved by the use of: 1) a study-specific template brain for more accurate spatial normalization, 2) study-specific tissue class priors and skull removal for better tissue segmentation, Anterior and posterior boundaries: Pars Opercularis and 3) modulation of voxel intensity by the spatial warping parameters, allowing for a comparison of volume The anterior IFG was traced on coronal slices from the most anterior coronal slice where the inferior frontal sulcus was change between groups. visible to the plane of the vertical ramus. The posterior IFG was drawn on axial slices from the plane of the vertical ramus to the precentral sulcus. An implementation of Optimized VBM was run using MR images of a group of 30 healthy controls and a group of 30 chronic, medicated Pars Triangularis schizophrenics. Scans were acquired using an SPGR sequence on a 1.5-T General Electric scanner. All subjects were males between the Subregions: ages of 20 and 54 and matched for IQ and parental socioeconomic status. Gray matter VBM analysis was conducted using SPM2 The pars orbitalis was bounded superiorly by the horizontal ramus of the sylvian fissure. The pars triangularis was framed (Statistical Parametric Mapping, Wellcome Institute, London). The VBM software was adapted from scripts written by Christian Gaser and by the horizontal and vertical rami. The pars opercularis was bounded by the vertical ramus and the precentral sulcus.

    Lateral Surface of the Brain Medical Neuroscience | Tutorial Notes Lateral Surface of the Brain 1 MAP TO NEUROSCIENCE CORE CONCEPTS NCC1. The brain is the body's most complex organ. LEARNING OBJECTIVES After study of the assigned learning materials, the student will: 1. Demonstrate the four paired lobes of the cerebral cortex and describe the boundaries of each. 2. Sketch the major features of each cerebral lobe, as seen from the lateral view, identifying major gyri and sulci that characterize each lobe. NARRATIVE by Leonard E. WHITE and Nell B. CANT Duke Institute for Brain Sciences Department of Neurobiology Duke University School of Medicine Overview When you view the lateral aspect of a human brain specimen (see Figures A3A and A102), three structures are usually visible: the cerebral hemispheres, the cerebellum, and part of the brainstem (although the brainstem is not visible in the specimen photographed in lateral view for Fig. 1 below). The spinal cord has usually been severed (but we’ll consider the spinal cord later), and the rest of the subdivisions are hidden from lateral view by the hemispheres. The diencephalon and the rest of the brainstem are visible on the medial surface of a brain that has been cut in the midsagittal plane. Parts of all of the subdivisions are also visible from the ventral surface of the whole brain. Over the next several tutorials, you will find video demonstrations (from the brain anatomy lab) and photographs (in the tutorial notes) of these brain surfaces, and sufficient detail in the narrative to appreciate the overall organization of the parts of the brain that are visible from each perspective.

Extensive discussions of the cerebral sulci and their variations were presented by Ono et al. (1990), Duvernoy (1992), Tamraz and Comair (2000), and Rhoton (2007). An anatomical parcellation of the spatially normalized single high resolution T1 volume provided by the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI; Collins, 1994; Collins et al., 1998) was used for the macroscopical labeling of functional studies (Tzourio-Mazoyer et al., 2002; Rolls et al., 2015). In the standard atlas of the human brain by Mai et al. (2016), the terminology from Mai and Paxinos (2012) is used. It contains an extensively analyzed individual brain hemisphere in the MNI- space.

The understanding of the anatomy of the white matter tracts con- necting the frontal lobe with the rest of the cerebrum forms the basis of a safe and successful disconnective surgery. The authors explored and illustrated the relevant white matter tracts sectioned during each surgical step using fiber dissection techniques. METHODS Five human cadaveric hemispheres were dissected to illustrate the frontal connections in the 3 planes. The dissections were performed from lateral to medial, medial to lateral, and ventral to dorsal to describe the various tracts sectioned during the 4 steps of this surgery, namely the anterior suprainsular window, intrafrontal disconnection, anterior callosotomy, and frontobasal disconnection. RESULTS At the beginning of each surgical step, the U fibers were cut. During the anterior suprainsular window, the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF), the uncinate fasciculus, and the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF) were vi- sualized and sectioned, followed by sectioning of the anterior limb of the internal capsule.

Two-sentence descriptions of social situations for each of three experimental conditions (neutral, positive and negative), were constructed. For each pair of sentences, the first sentence was neutral and ambiguous in content. The emotional meaning of the sentence- pair was conferred by a positively-valenced, negatively-valenced or neutral word (the critical word) in the second sentence. Thus, other than one valence-associated or neutral word in the second sentence, the three conditions were identical in word content. The critical words of each condition were matched with respect to mean number of letters, frequency, and abstractness, but differed according to their affective valence and arousal. Norming studies in participants who did not participate in the fMRI study confirmed that the three conditions systematically differed according to their emotional valence (ratings on a 1-7 Likert scale: positive sentence pairs: mean valence rating > 5; negative sentence pairs: mean valence rating < 3; neutral sentence pairs: mean valence rating >3 and < 5) 1.

The top two rows are the left hemisphere (LH) while the bottom two are the right hemispheres (RH) lateral and medial surface views. The colour bar represents z-scores and the images are thresholded at an alpha (α) level of p < .01, corrected for multiple comparisons. Figure S3.
