Popis: The internal capsule is a brain structure with many important nerve tracts, including the pyramidal tract, which conducts information for the voluntary movement of the limbs. These nerve tracts and the specific location of their nerve fibers have been known for over 40 years. However, the study of these tracts can be difficult to understand, because these structures are not easily isolated for an in vivo anatomical study. Therefore, in this work we want to analyze and present the somatotopic arrangement of the nerve tracts in the internal capsule. To do so, we will use the information obtained from a magnetic resonance sequence with post-processing software to create the tractographic representation of this area.
