Overview: The dogma that brain function relied on the cortex has dominated clinical neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry for the last 100 years. Since the start of the 2000s, it has become evident that brain function is orchestrated as a network through white matter connections. This framework provides an understanding of brain function and dysfunction, and has radically changed how neurosurgical resections are performed. There is currently no manual for clinicians to visualize this functional anatomy in a fast, easy and user-friendly way. This is particularly important for senior clinicians who may have an understanding of cortical anatomy but may struggle with newly described white matter connections as they may now be visualized with MRI, and also for trainees who are learning the subject of applied neuro-anatomy. With this book, we aim to bridge this gap.
In 1995 Jackson and Duncan produced “MRI Neuroanatomy: a new angle on the brain” using the best clinical MRI available at the time and did not demonstrate white matter tracts. This was very well received, and it is time now to produce an atlas that shows the 3D anatomy of gray and white matter to contemporary standards.
