From classic models to new pathways: unraveling the anatomy and function of the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus in language processing
The IFOF plays a pivotal role in integrating visual, motor, and semantic information, facilitating complex interactions between cognitive, linguistic, and visuospatial functions. Its dorsal component aids visuospatial integration, while the ventral component underpins semantic processing. The IFOF's anatomical and functional complexity underscores its critical consideration in neurosurgical planning.
