The anatomical image does not label the extreme capsule (capsula extrema) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.18.113.226 (talk) 20:38, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would be grateful if the authors could spare a few comments, or otherwise point to some references in the HUMAN neuroanatomy literature (imaging and/or histology) on the relationship/confusion between the extreme capsule fiber system and the so-called inferior fronto-occipital fascicle(IFOF). Unlike other cases of confusion in neuroanatomy that can be largely put down to terminological overlap/redundancy (for example with the Arcuate/SLFI-IV/MdLF), I think this matter (i.e. the existence of the IFOF) has important theoretical ramifications for many neuroscientists, particularly those working on the visual system.

Most appreciated,

Have removed the following since the ref used is not referring to the extreme capsule but the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF) and other tracts. Have left it here in case I have misread things: – "It is also said to make connections with the inferior frontal gyrus,(Broca’s area) and the middle-posterior portion of the superior temporal gyrus (Wernicke's area).^[1] Its fibers are near to but can be distinguished by MRI tractography from adjacent fiber bundles such as the uncinate fasciculus, the external capsule, the arcuate fascicle, and the medial, inferior and superior longitudinal fascicles."^[1] Given its bidirectional connection between the Broca's and Wernicke's speech areas it could have a role in language."^[1] --Iztwoz (talk) 17:59, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
