The relationship of white matter tract orientation to vascular geometry in the human brain by Kurt G. Schilling, Allen Newton, Chantal M. W. Tax, Maxime Chamberland, Samuel W. Remedios, Yurui Gao, Muwei Li, Catie Chang, Francois Rheault, Farshid Sepherband, Adam Anderson, John C. Gore, Bennett Landman

“…We first describe vascular orientation throughout the brain and note several regions with consistent orientations across individuals. Next, we find that vasculature does not necessarily align with the dominant direction of white matter in many regions, but, due to the presence of crossing fiber populations, does align with at least some white matter within each MRI voxel. …”
