Article Synopsis
- Pediatric brain tumor survivors (PBTS) face neurocognitive challenges, particularly in working memory and processing speed, which may be related to white matter (WM) pathways in the brain.
- The study involved 13 PBTS and 10 healthy controls (HC), examining their cognitive performance and using MRI to analyze WM microstructure.
- Results indicated that PBTS had significantly lower neurocognitive performance and exhibited higher mean diffusivity in key WM areas, suggesting that these microstructure alterations are linked to their cognitive difficulties.
