The average length of the uncinate fasciculus is 45 mm with a range 40 49 mm.
2.
The greater left than right fractional anisotropy of the uncinate fasciculus is missing in those with schizophrenia.
3.
They also showed less developed white matter connections between different areas in their cerebral cortices, particularly the uncinate fasciculus.
4.
Consistent with the word recognition site identified in brain imaging, the uncinate fasciculus connects anterior superior temporal regions with Broca's area.
5.
Among the alterations of both synaptic and global structure, the most significant abnormalities are observed in the uncinate fasciculus and the cingulate cortex.
6.
Phineas Gage ( a railroad worker who had an iron bar go through his left frontal lobe ) had damage done to his uncinate fasciculus.
7.
The uncinate fasciculus has the longest period of development in terms of fractional anisotropy as it alone amongst the major white fibre tracks continues to develop beyond the age of 30.
8.
In 10-year-old children who have suffered socioemotional deprivation, the left uncinate fasciculus shows reduced fractional anisotropy compared to that in other children, and this might underlie their cognitive, socioemotional, and behavioral difficulties.
9.
The patient's MRI revealed damage to the right ventral frontal cortex and underlying white matter, including the uncinate fasciculus, a band of fibres previously thought to mediate retrieval of specific events from one's personal past.
10.
People scoring 25 or higher in the PCL-R, with an associated history of violent behavior, appear on average to have significantly reduced microstructural integrity between the white matter connecting the amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex ( such as the uncinate fasciculus ).
