Uncinate Fasciculus
Runs above the insular cortex and connects the 4 main lobes
Superior Longitudinal Fasciculus
(SLF)
The aspect of the SLF that runs into temporal lobe
Arcuate Fasciculus
Runs medial and superior to the SLF and connects frontal lobe with superior parietal and occipital areas
Superior Occipitofrontal Fasciculus (SOF)
Runs beneath insular cortex and connects frontal, temporal, and occipital areas
Inferior Occipitofrontal Fasciculus
Runs between temporal and occipital areas and does NOT connect with frontal lobe
Inferior Longitudinal Fasciculus
Connects anterior temporal lobe with the orbital gyri
Uncinate Fasciculus
Runs within the limbic lobe, connecting cingulate gyrus with parahippocampal gyrus
Cingulum
