Abstract
The article discusses a study on the use of anatomical connectivity mapping (ACM) to assess anatomical brain disconnection and its impact on the observed cognitive disabilities such as multiple sclerosis (MS). It says that probabilistic tractography was initiated from all parenchymal voxels while ACM maps were obtained by counting the streamlines passing through each voxel. Results show that ACM clarifies the contribution of anatomical brain disconnection to clinical disabilities in MS.
