abstract = {Inter-individual differences can inform treatment
procedures and—if accounted for—have the potential to
significantly improve patient outcomes. However, when
studying brain anatomy, these inter-individual variations
are commonly unaccounted for, despite reports of differences
in gross anatomical features, cross-sectional, and
connectional anatomy. Brain connections are essential to
facilitate functional organization and, when severed, cause
impairments or complete loss of function. Hence, the study
of cerebral white matter may be an ideal compromise to
capture inter-individual variability in structure and
function. We reviewed the wealth of studies that associate
cognitive functions and clinical symptoms with individual
tracts using diffusion tractography. Our systematic review
indicates that tractography has proven to be a sensitive
method in neurology, psychiatry, and healthy populations to
identify variability and its functional correlates. However,
the literature may be biased, as the most commonly studied
tracts are not necessarily those with the highest
sensitivity to cognitive functions and pathologies.
Additionally, the hemisphere of the studied tract is often
unreported, thus neglecting functional laterality and
asymmetries. Finally, we demonstrate that tracts, as we
define them, are not correlated with one, but multiple
cognitive domains or pathologies. While our systematic
review identified some methodological caveats, it also
suggests that tract–function correlations might still be a
promising tool in identifying biomarkers for precision
medicine. They can characterize variations in brain anatomy,
differences in functional organization, and predicts
resilience and recovery in patients.},
