Cerebral Association and Commissural Fibres:

Projections of the Cerebral Cortex:

1. Association: Fibres joining one part of the hemisphere to another or to the opposite hemisphere. These fibres run in the white matter.

2. Commissural: Interlink identical areas of the two hemispheres.

3. Projection: Fibres that link subcortical nuclei in the cerebrum, brainstem and spinal cord.

Association Fibres: May be long or short:

1. Superior longitudinal fasiculus (links frontal and occipital lobes).

2. Inferior longitudinal fasiculus (links occipital and temporal lobes).

3. Arcuate fasiculus (links frontal lobe and occipito-temporal cortex).

4. Uncinate fasiculus (links frontal and anterior temporal lobes).
