Figure 1 Patient who shows injuries for the corticospinal tract (CST) and corticofugal tracts (CFTs) in the right hemisphere. (A) T2-weighted brain MR images show a hemorrhagic lesion located in the right hemisphere. (B) Diffusion tensor tractography for the CST and CFTa from the premotor cortex (PMC) and supplementary motor area (SMA). The integrities of the CST, the CFT from the PMC, and the CFT from the SMA are preserved in both hemispheres. However, the CST, the CFT from the PMC, and the CFT from the SMA are thinner than those of the left side, respectively (reprinted with permission from American Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation: 2016;95:e115–116).
