Resting-state fMRI networks are generally organized with
a bilateral structure in humans and rodents. Yet, a
number of these networks are not supported by direct
synaptic connections. This is the case for the
caudate-putamen, which is part of the dorsal striatum
network in mice. An intermediately region is assumed to
relay the information between the two regions; however,
such a region is not apparent on the functional
connectivity maps. We first compared DTI based
tractography in mice with injection-based tractography
available from the Allen institute database. We then
used probabilistic tracking to identify the fibers
involved between each functional network.
