integrity (measured with DTI) and visuoconstruction accuracy (as measured by the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test) in alcoholics and healthy controls. For both groups, the investigators found an association between poorer copy accuracy and increased radial diffusivity in the occipital forceps and external capsule. In the alcoholics, poor immediate recall of the Figure was associated with compromised fiber microstructure (lower fractional anisotropy) in inferior cingulate bundles.
