Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuroimaging
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Visual training is a model for studying brain plasticity.
  • The impact of long-term visual training on white matter (WM) microstructure is not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of a 10-week visual training program on white matter microstructure.
  • To identify specific anatomical changes in the brains of visual trainees using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging.

Main Methods:

  • 40 healthy participants were randomly assigned to a training or control group.
  • Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) was used to analyze white matter (WM) tracts.
  • Automated fiber tract subclassification and segmentation quantified microstructural differences.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences were observed in the cingulate bundle, thalamus frontal, uncinate fasciculus, and corpus callosum between groups.
  • The visual training group showed lower mean fractional anisotropy (FA) and higher mean diffusivity (MD) and radial diffusivity (RD).

Conclusions:

  • Long-term visual training systematically influences white matter (WM) properties.
  • These changes suggest an impact on cognitive functions including attention, memory, and processing speed.
