In neuroanatomy, the corona radiata is a white matter sheet that continues inferiorly as the internal capsule and superiorly as the centrum semiovale. This sheet of both ascending and descending axons carries most of the neural traffic from and to the cerebral cortex.

2025年2月16日 · The corona radiata is a bundle of nerve fibers and can be damaged in a stroke. Learn what happens if it is affected.

2023年10月30日 · The corona radiata comprises a fan-shaped array of white matter tracts seen at the level of the lateral ventricles. Superiorly, these tracts are continuous with the semioval center (centrum semiovale) and inferiorly they merge into the internal capsule.

2025年2月11日 · Explore the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for strokes affecting the corona radiata, and understand factors influencing recovery.

2021年12月27日 · The corona radiata refer to a pair of white matter tracts seen at the level of the lateral ventricles. Superiorly they are continuous with the centrum semiovale. Inferiorly these tracts converge as the internal capsule.

Tutorial on the CT appearances of white matter structures of the brain. The corpus callosum and internal capsules are important white matter tracts. The centrum semiovale and corona radiata are connected to the brain stem via the internal capsule.

2024年9月30日 · The corona radiata is composed primarily of white matter fibers. These fibers get their distinctive white color from myelin, a fatty substance that insulates the axons (the long, slender projections of nerve cells) and allows for rapid signal transmission.

The corona radiata or radiating corona is a structure of the brain formed by nerve fibers (white matter) that make up the internal capsule a region that connects the cerebral cortex with lower areas of the brain and spinal cord.

The fibers of the internal capsule radiate widely as they pass to and from the various parts of the cerebral cortex, forming the corona radiata and intermingling with the fibers of the corpus callosum.

I created this study aid to help conceptualize what the corona radiata looks like, and how it connects to the brainstem and the cerebral cortex. In addition, the structure of the corona radiata is described in relation to its associated projections to the primary motor cortex.
