Studies on the Central Visual System

The inferior longitudinal fasciculus: A reexamination in humans and monkeys

“…In 1705, von Monakow 1351 used findings in pathological cases to suggest that Burdach's ILF contained association fibers projecting from occipital to temporal cortex. This interpretation of the ILF was disputed in a number of anatomical studies published shortly after the turn of the century, which showed that Burdach's ILF within the external sagittal stratum is not a connection between occipital and temporal cortex but is rather the ventral portion of the geniculostriate pathway (see 119, [23][24][25]). These anatomical studies left open the question of whether an occipitotemporal projection could be found in some location outside of the external sagittal stratum.…”
