Walsh & Hoyt: Anterior Cerebral Artery, Anterior Communicating Artery, and Their Branches
Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library University of Utah, 2005Co-Authors: Robert A. Egan, Providence Willamette Falls Medical CenterAbstract:The ACA originates as the Medial and smaller of the two terminal branches of the ICA. It courses anteroMedially to the hemispheric fissure, passing over the optic chiasm or the distal portion of the optic nerves and below the Medial Olfactory Stria. In the interhemispheric fissure, it is joined to the opposite ACA by the anterior communicating artery (AComA). The segment of the ACA between the ICA and AComA is called the A-1 or precommunicating segment. The segment of the ACA distal to the AComA is usually separated into four smaller segments designated A-2 to A-5

Microsurgical and Fiber Tract Anatomy of the Nucleus Accumbens.
Operative neurosurgery (Hagerstown Md.), 2016Co-Authors: Serhat Baydin, Kaan Yagmurlu, Necmettin Tanriover, Abuzer Gungor, Albert L. RhotonAbstract:BACKGROUND The nucleus accumbens (NAc) has been a target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the treatment of depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). OBJECTIVE To examine the anatomy and connections of the NAc using a fiber dissection technique. METHODS Ten human brains and 2 whole cadaveric heads were examined by fiber dissection technique and ×6 to ×40 surgical magnification. The NAc was examined from the lateral, Medial, superior, and inferior sides to define its fiber connections and relationships with adjacent cortical and subcortical structures. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with 1-mm slices was used to define its neuronavigation coordinates. RESULTS Eight tracts, the uncinate fasciculus, cingulum, Stria medullaris thalami, fornix, diagonal band of Broca, Stria terminalis, Medial Olfactory Stria, and forceps minor, form a capsule around the anterior, inferior, and Medial sides of the NAc. The uncinate fasciculus connects along the inferior and adjacent part of the Medial side of the NAc, the cingulum and diagonal band along the Medial surface, the Medial Olfactory Stria along the posteroMedial and adjacent part of the inferior surface, the forceps minor along the anteroMedial surface, and the Stria terminalis, fornix, and Stria medullaris along the posterosuperior surface. The subcortical gray matter related to the NAc includes the septal nuclei, indusium griseum, substantia innominata, caudate nucleus, and hypothalamus. The cortical areas communicating with and overlying the NAc are reviewed. CONCLUSION An increased understanding of the fiber connections and neural relationships of the NAc should allow more accurate DBS targeting for the treatment of psychiatric disorders.
