Diffusion tensor imaging correlates of memory and language impairments in temporal lobe epilepsy

To investigate the relationship between white matter tract integrity and language and memory performances in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was performed in 17 patients with TLE and 17 healthy controls. Fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) were calculated for six fiber tracts (uncinate fasciculus [UF], arcuate fasciculus [AF], fornix [FORX], parahippocampal cingulum [PHC], inferior...
