In human neuroanatomy, axons (nerve fibers) within the brain, can be categorized on the basis of their course and connections as association fibers, projection fibers, and commissural fibers.[1]
The association fibers unite different parts of the same cerebral hemisphere, and are of two kinds: (1) short association fibers that connect adjacent gyri; (2) long association fibers that make connections between more distant parts.
