The mapping of the human brain white matter fiber networks relative to deep subcortical and cortical gray matter requires high spatial resolution which is challenged by the low signal-to-noise ratio. The purpose of this short report was to introduce a whole brain high spatial resolution diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) protocol that enabled for the first time the mapping of corticopontocerebellar, frontostriatal and thalamofrontal fiber pathways in addition to other limbic, commissural, association and projection white matter pathways relative to the segmented deep gray (e.g., caudate nuclei) and the cortical lobes. Our DTI acquisition protocol and analysis strategy provide important template for brain-behavior research and for teaching brain mapping and are clinically affordable for patient comfort.
