fasciculus of developmentally delayed children: a diffusion tensor imaging study," American Journal of Neuroradiology, vol.
Lateral to the optic radiation and the inferior fronto-occipital
fasciculus occipital terminations, within the SSS, the middle longitudinal
fasciculus (MLF) can be responsible for the fast epileptic spread to lateral temporal region.
DTI Decreased FA in the left frontal arcuate [69]
fasciculus and the right parietal arcuate
fasciculus.

Integrity of the inferior longitudinal
fasciculus and impaired object recognition in children: a diffusion tensor imaging study.
(60) Neuroimaging studies have found that the poorer sustained attention observed in binge drinking adolescents is associated with thicker PFCs (31) and lower FA in the inferior longitudinal
fasciculus (67)--regions where thickness and FA differed significantly between binge drinking adolescents and control subjects.
There was bilateral conduction block in the
fasciculus gracilis and bilateral conduction elongation in the
fasciculus cuneatus in SEP.
Moreover, these authors reported an association between ToM impairment and alterations of white matter in the superior longitudinal
fasciculus, adjacent to the parietal lobe, and of the white matter adjacent to the frontal lobe.
DTI studies found increased FA values and the decreased mean diffusivity in the corpus callosum, as well as a negative correlation between the number of years of alcohol consumption and FA in the internal capsule, superior longitudinal
fasciculus, and other white matter tracts [59].

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) measures show an increase in the number offibers in the right arcuate
fasciculus in 7 patients undergoing MIT [20, 21] and showed a marginally significant correlation with improvement [20].
The most important fibre tract connecting the temporal and frontal language areas is the arcuate
fasciculus, which extends from the posterior temporal lobe to the inferior frontal region in the lateral plane.
