Elucidation of the relationship between sensory processing and white matter using diffusion tensor imaging tractography in young adults

Abstract Sensory processing and behaviors are altered during the development of connectivity between the sensory cortices and multiple brain regions in an experience-dependent manner. To reveal the relationship between sensory processing and brain white matter, we investigated the association betwee...
