AbstractBACKGROUNDThe imperative role of white matter preservation in improving surgical functional outcomes is now recognized. Understanding the fundamental white matter framework is essential for translating the anatomic and functional literature into practical strategies for surgical planning and neuronavigation.OBJECTIVETo present a 3-dimensional (3-D) atlas of the structural and functional scaffolding of human white matter—ie, a “Surgical White Matter Chassis (SWMC)”—that can be used as an organizational tool in designing precise and individualized trajectory-based neurosurgical corridors.METHODSPreoperative diffusion tensor imaging magnetic resonance images were obtained prior to each of our last 100 awake subcortical resections, using a clinically available 3.0 Tesla system. Tractography was generated using a semiautomated deterministic global seeding algorithm. Tract data were conceptualized as a 3-D modular chassis based on the 3 major fiber types, organized along median and paramedian planes, with special attention to limbic and neocortical association tracts and their interconnections.RESULTSWe discuss practical implementation of the SWMC concept, and highlight its use in planning select illustrative cases. Emphasis has been given to developing practical understanding of the arcuate fasciculus, uncinate fasciculus, and vertical rami of the superior longitudinal fasciculus, which are often-neglected fibers in surgical planning.CONCLUSIONA working knowledge of white matter anatomy, as embodied in the SWMC, is of paramount importance to the planning of parafascicular surgical trajectories, and can serve as a basis for developing reliable safe corridors, or modules, toward the goal of “zero-footprint” transsulcal access to the subcortical space.

Abstract University neuroanatomical courses seldom teach the anatomical-functional connectivity of the brain. White matter dissection improves understanding of brain connectivity, but until now has been restricted to neurosurgeons and in some cases to medical students, never to health-care non-medical professionals. Our aim was to teach white matter anatomy to medical and non-medical students to evaluate this technique in groups with different education. A standardized lab demonstration of white matter anatomy was performed with high appreciation rate in both groups, suggesting a suboptimal neuroanatomical education provided by basic course. We encourage to include this technique of teaching brain anatomy into basic neuroanatomical courses to improve the level of comprehension and competence in all health-care staff within the field of neuroscience.
