Multimodal MRI analysis of microstructural and functional connectivity brain changes following systematic audio-visual training in a virtual environment by Kholoud Alwashmi, Fiona Rowe, Georg Meyer

“…Therefore, behavioural performance change is likely to be the result of microstructural, functional activation, and connectivity changes in extended neural networks.Here we show for the first time that learning-induced microstructural change in WM tracts, quantified with diffusion tensor and kurtosis imaging (DTI, DKI) is linked to functional connectivity changes in brain areas that use these tracts to communicate.Twenty healthy participants engaged in a month of virtual reality (VR) systematic audiovisual (AV) training. …”
