Misidentification and misinterpretation of the posterior branch as the main trunk of the ILN put the anterior branch and
motor fibers under the greatest risk.
For example, when there's a stroke in the internal capsule, it might interrupt sensory fibers,
motor fibers, and fibers involved in other functions--all of which run very close to one another.

Fibrosis occurs between
motor fibers at 1 to 2 years and fragmentation and disintegration occur by 2 years.
