However, whether learning basketball-related motor skills activates structural plasticity in the cerebral white matter is presently unknown. We used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to assess microstruc- tural differences within the white matter of college basketball athletes and non-athletes. In all, 15 healthy college basketball athletes and 15 healthy college non-athletes took part in the experiments. Tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) were used to perform a whole-brain analysis of the DTI data and to explore brain structural differences between athletes and non-athletes. Compared to non-athletes, athletes demonstrated significantly greater FA in the right middle temporal gyrus, bilateral middle occipital gyrus, right middle frontal gyrus, right frontal lobe, right precentral gyrus, left insular cortex
