I have been asked by several invididuals to place more emphasis on articles that relate to the functional aspects of neuroimaging. One of these topics are the the white matter tracts. Starting later this year, AJNR will carry a bimonthly feature on the white matter tracts. Drs. Naidich and Fatterpekar from the Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC will be in charge of this feature. These short contributions will describe not only the anatomy of specific tracts, their DTI appearance but also their functional connections and the clinical symptoms produced when they are injured. I look forward to their contributions which undoubtedly will enrich all us.
