EXPERIENCE-DEPENDENT PLASTICITY IN WHITE MATTER MICROSTRUCTURE: REASONING TRAINING ALTERS STRUCTURAL CONNECTIVITY

Experience-dependent plasticity in white matter microstructure: Reasoning training alters structural connectivity

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) techniques have made it possible to investigate white matter plasticity in humans.Changes in DTI measures, principally increases in fractional anisotropy (FA), have been observed following training programs as diverse as juggling, meditation, and working memory.Here, we sought to test whether three months of reasoning
