Moreover, among associative WM tracts in the frontal lobe, the anterior
cingulum bundle is adjacent to the motor cortex, and its microstructural damage in ALS has been hypothesized to be related to the pattern of corticofugal disease spreading [67, 68].
Evidence for fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity white matter abnormalities in the internal capsule and
cingulum in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Analysis of damaged axons focused on the
cingulum, under the impact site, to image axons in cross-section for more accurate quantification (Figures 6(b), 6(c), and 6(d)).
Rhona MacLeod's forensic work reveals the red plaited silk cord used to hang Leila is a

cingulum is continuous but weak buccally and strong lingually.
Diagnosis--The largest species of Postcopemys based on its brachydont bunodont molars; also bears the following unique character combination: median mure connected to protocone on M1; m1 with a wide and strongly bilobed procingulum; ectolophid and ectostylid on m1 present; mesolophid well-developed on m1, but short in m2 and not extending to the lingual
cingulum.
