Cover Picture : Virtual reconstructions of nerve fiber tracts crossing the corpus callosum in the human (right) and rhesus monkey brain in vivo (left). The data have been obtained by diffusion-weighted MRI followed by fiber tractography. Segregated transcallosal fiber bundles project into specific cortical regions: green = refrontal lobe, light blue = remotor and supplementary motor areas, dark blue = rimary motor cortex, red = rimary sensory cortex, orange = arietal lobe, yellow = ccipital lobe, violet = emporal lobe. See Hofer et al. 2008. Rhesus monkey and human share a similar topography of the corpus callosum as revealed by diffusion tensor MRI in vivo. Cereb Cortex 18(5):1079-1084.
