I am a student of this practicum and I have completed the assignment of WK2.
But there is something wrong with my laptop last Friday during the practicum, so I missed part of the practicum and didn't see the demo of "Segment left arcuate fasciculus into the acoustic, visual, and lexical encoding part and assign different colors (reference: Giampiccolo D, Duffau H. Controversy over the temporal cortical terminations of the left arcuate fasciculus: a reappraisal. Brain. 2022 Feb 10.)"
This is my result but it looks odd. The following is my approach:
Step T3 >> load HCP1065.1mm.fib.gz >> Automatic tracking Target: Arcuate_Fasciculus_L
Then perform virtual dissection according to the relative position (qualitative) of fibers segments in figure Giampiccolo et al. 2022
My question is:
1. Am I doing it right? I would like to know your correct approach to doing this.
2. How to determine the accurate Arcuate projections in middle temporal, posterior temporal and fusiform gyri, anterior/middle inferior temporal and fusiform gyri, qualitative or quantitative? If quantitative, does it become Region-Based Fiber Tracking?
I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your time!
Looking forward to seeing you next practicum WK3 Friday.
Best,
Kengo
