“…6,7,14,25,47 In particular, and with regard to the optic radiations, which have a complex inherent trajectory and morphology, even the most advanced neuroimaging techniques are prone to anatomical inaccuracies, distortions, and errors and are not superior to the classical dissection methods. 2,11,24,26,35,48 The fiber microdissection technique is still the gold standard for exploring intricate white matter pathways, which is why we chose it to be our basic method of investigation. 11,19,22,24,26,30,35,48 Through these focused white matter dissections, we consistently observed the roof of the atrium to be covered by claustrocortical fibers, parietopontine fibers, and fibers of the parietal thalamic radiation and tapetum and found no evidence of optic radiation fibers arching over this segment of the ventricular trigone.…”
