White matter asymmetries on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) may be related to language specialization as shown in controls and TLE," scientists in Paris, France report. "To refine our understanding of the effect of epilepsy on the structure-function relationships, we focused on the arcuate fasciculus (ArcF) and the inferior occipitofrontal fasciculus (IOF) and tested the relationship between DTI- and fMRI-based lateralization indices in TLE. fMRI with three language tasks and DTI...
