Does motor deficit in children with cerebral palsy correlate with diffusion tensor metrics abnormalities in thalamocortical pathways?

Does motor deficit in children with cerebral palsy correlate with diffusion tensor metrics abnormalities in thalamocortical pathways?

Abstract Background Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of motor-impairment signs secondary to many disorders that interfere with early brain development and are usually related to white matter injury in children. Most studies are focused on the study of motor tracts, mainly the corticospinal tract (CST)...
