The UF is a bidirectional, long-range white-matter tract
that connects the lateral OFC and Brodmann area 10
with the anterior temporal lobes[34]. One would expect
that the UF connecting limbic regions to OFCs might be
structurally impaired in schizophrenia. However, a recent
review of the DTI literature indicates that findings on FA
in the UF in schizophrenia are mixed. The UF appears
to play either a small role, or no role, in this disorder[34]
