Dissecting the
uncinate fasciculus: disorders, controversies and a hypothesis.
Previous imaging studies reported that impairments in the
uncinate fasciculus (UF), which connects the frontal and temporal lobes, might contribute to the slower intra-hemispheric processing in SZ.
These regions were chosen because they involve different cerebral connections but include the main frontotemporal associations bundles (considered to be involved in MD pathogenesis): the
uncinate fasciculus (basal), the cingulum (medial), and the arcuate fasciculus (lateral).
The white matter pathway connecting the two structures (the
uncinate fasciculus) is shown in green.
