White matter and task switching in young adults: A Diffusion Tensor Imaging study
Highlights DTI and performance data on three task switching paradigms were collected on young adults. Frontal inter hemispheric white matter integrity favors sustained task switching. This result was observed when switching between spatial rules or color shape ones. No relation between behavior and white matter was observed for verbal rule switching. Task specific features determine whether white matter mediates task switching performance.
