This study introduces an automated framework for identifying and quantifying reproducible U-shaped association fibers from whole-brain tractography. The pipeline integrates anatomical filtering, clustering, and crossing-aware separation to resolve complex fiber configurations. Our results reveal highly consistent short-range connectivity patterns across subjects, supporting robust group-level analyses of superficial white matter.
