Researchers at King’s College, Institute of Psychiatry, London and other centers in the UK, US, and Germany discovered changes in an anterior thalamo-cortical bundle during tests of structural connectivity, as measured by diffusion tensor imaging, in a cohort of 28 subjects with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy.
