Document Summary
These go into cortex from brainstem and out of cortex into brainstem. U shaped because the two areas that are connecting in close proximity are folded by sulci and gyri. Blunt edge is better because it doesn"t cut through the tract. From horse radish plant when injected causes degeneration. Gfp comes from jelly fish and glows with sunlight, you inject it into genes and they will be expressed in a protein and then know how it will express itself in the system. If you image white matter tracts, the brain is organized in recto linear grid. Spatio temporo coherence: what happens in one location in brain and what happens quickly after are correlated. Fibres that are pink intersect over fibres that are light blue in right corner. The colors explain what direction the fibres are going. Both tracts in the c image are part of the arcurate fasciculus. Damage to uf results in uncinated fits (smelling something odd)
