Showing papers on "Inferior longitudinal fasciculus published in 1921"
TL;DR: This work has undertaken to show by gross dissections of well hardened specimens, a bundle such as the fasciculus longitudinalis inferior, a well defined aggregation of nerve fibers that represents projection fibers joining the thalamus with the cortex of the occipital and temporal lobes.
Abstract: In the majority of anatomic textbooks the inferior longitudinal fasciculus is described as one of the cerebral association tracts. Its course is spoken of as extending between the poles of the occipital and temporal lobes. The exact anatomic relations of this bundle and the possibility that it represents projection fibers joining the thalamus with the cortex of the occipital and temporal lobes have caused a great difference of opinion among anatomists and neurologists. All observers to date are agreed that it consists of a well defined aggregation of nerve fibers. With two exceptions, all of the recent work on this subject has been done by examinations of serial sections, obtained from cases of cerebral softening or tumors, showing degenerative changes. It should be comparatively easy, however, to show by gross dissections of well hardened specimens, a bundle such as the fasciculus longitudinalis inferior. In this work we have undertaken to
