Overview

Classical and modern schemas for defining and characterizing neuroanatomical structures in white matter tissue can be categorized along two main dimensions Ontology and Representation. Each of these has two main flavours: tract-based/connectivity-based, and image-based/streamline-based. This perspective is a key part of the rationale for, and design of, the ConWhAt software and atlases. Read more about these concepts here.
