“…Therefore, the WM in the left hemisphere, being the substrate for a training‐induced plasticity, may be less affected by the disease (Saini et al., 2012; Scholz, Klein, Behrens, & Johansen‐Berg, 2009; Svatkova et al., 2015). While the contribution of both AD and RD on the MD changes point to the complex nature of WM changes with alterations in water content, myelin or axonal structure(Alexander et al., 2007; Saini et al., 2012), more widespread MD disturbance mostly contributed to RD abnormalities implies an abnormal myelination (Song et al., 2002) in the ET pathology. Similar to prior studies, we did not detect significant changes in FA, while demonstrating differences in diffusivity measures (Saini et al., 2012).…”
