  abstract     = {From a holistic point of view, semantic processes are subserved by large-scale subcortico-cortical networks. The
dynamic routing of information between grey matter structures depends on the integrity of subcortical white
matter pathways. Nonetheless, controversy remains on which of these pathways support semantic processing.
Therefore, a systematic review of the literature was performed with a focus on anatomo-functional correlations
obtained from direct electrostimulation during awake tumor surgery, and conducted between diffusion tensor
imaging metrics and behavioral semantic performance in healthy and aphasic individuals. The 43 included
studies suggest that the left inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus contributes to the essential connectivity that
allows semantic processing. However, it remains uncertain whether its contributive role is limited to the organization
of semantic knowledge or extends to the level of semantic control. Moreover, the functionality of the
left uncinate fasciculus, inferior longitudinal fasciculus and the posterior segment of the indirect arcuate fasciculus
in semantic processing has to be confirmed by future research.},
