摘　　要：The cingulum is the neural fiber bundle that connects the basal forebrain and medial temporal lobe. The cingulum contains the medial cholinergic pathway, which originates from the basalis nucleus of Meynert in the basal forebrain. Therefore, it is important for memory function （Malykhin et al., 2008; Hong and Jang, 2010）. In the past, identification of the cingulum on conventional brain MRI has been impossible because it cannot discern the cingulum from other adjacent structures. Diffusion tensor tractography （DTT）, derived from diffusion tensor imaging （DTI）, allows three-dimensional visualization and estimation of the cingulum （Malykhin et al., 2008）.The cingulum is the neural fiber bundle that connects the basal forebrain and medial temporal lobe.
