The Connectivity of the Human Pulvinar: A Diffusion Tensor Imaging Tractography Study

Figure 1

Seedmask and exclusion mask. Atlas was warped to a high-resolution, high-signal-to-noise ratio template. The pulvinar was extracted from the atlas and the atlas-to-subject transformation estimated for each subject was applied to the mask of the pulvinar to fit it properly to each subject. An example of the obtained right (red) and left (blue) pulvinar seedmask is shown in (a). A single sagittal slice along the midline was created on the T₁-image of each subject to obtain an exclusion mask (b).
