2020, NeuroImage: ClinicalCitation Excerpt :Connectivity between the FFA and SPL may be mediated by the vertical occipital fasciculus (VOF), which has projections to the posterior intraparietal sulcus of the dorsal attention network and the fusiform gyrus of the visual association network (Budisavljevic et al., 2018; Takemura et al., 2016; Yeatman et al., 2014). Supporting the functional evidence of dorsal attention and visual association network communication, the VOF has been implicated in reading (Greenblatt, 1973, 1976), depth perception (Oishi et al., 2018), and object related motor actions (Budisavljevic et al., 2018). Although the VOF connects regions of the visual association and dorsal attention networks, the white matter architecture that would support direct connectivity between the nodes of interest in this study (the SPL and FFA) is not understood.

2018, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyCitation Excerpt :Finally, a secondary atrophy of the splenium of the corpus callosum could be observed. Thus the lesion met the criteria given by Greenblatt (1976), in order to be qualified as subangular, i.e. subcortical and ventral to the angular gyrus. Nevertheless, its localization was slightly posterior and dorsal to those of the original description (Mayer et al., 1999, p. 1110).
Broca and Wernicke are dead, or moving past the classic model of language neurobiology
2016, Brain and LanguageCitation Excerpt :If we expand the focus to paralinguistic functions such as literacy, a recently re-discovered fiber pathway (Yeatman et al., 2014), the vertical occipital fasciculus (VOF), becomes yet another potentially important pathway2. This pathway appears to connect the lateral occipitotemporal sulcus and gyrus (associated with the processing of visual word forms) with inferior, and possibly superior, parietal regions that are important for literacy and numeracy (Bouhali et al., 2014; Greenblatt, 1973, 1976; Yeatman, Rauschecker, & Wandell, 2013). To date, much of the research on perisylvian long association fiber pathways has focused on speech perception and language comprehension, and has largely neglected the contribution of cortical and subcortical networks for speech production.
