Abstract
There has been resurgence in studying the anatomy of white matter tracts and understanding white matter tract disruptions giving rise to disconnection syndromes given the recent advances in glioma surgery. While damage to a cortical functional area can sometimes be compensated for by another region by plasticity, damage to the bundles of fibers is irreparable.
