inferior longitudinal fasciculus
external sagittal stratum
Connecting the temporal lobe with the occipital lobe, the inferior longitudinal fasciculus runs along the lateral walls of the inferior and posterior cornua of the lateral ventricle. Its status as a discrete structure is disputed: whether it exists in humans independently of the occipitotemporal fasciculus has been questioned, and it has been proposed that the name inferior longitudinal fasciculus be replaced by the term occipitotemporal projection. The entry is therefore best read as naming a described fibre pathway whose separation from a neighbouring bundle is unsettled rather than an uncontested anatomical entity. It is recorded under the alternative designation external sagittal stratum and classified as a cerebral nerve fasciculus.
The inferior longitudinal fasciculus connects the temporal lobe and occipital lobe, running along the lateral walls of the inferior and posterior cornua of the lateral ventricle. The existence of this fasciculus independent from the occipitotemporal fasciculus has been questioned for the human being, such that it has been proposed that the term inferior longitudinal fasciculus be replaced by the term 'occipitotemporal projection'.
