Structural and functional abnormalities in the anterior thalamic radiation have been associated with deficits in executive functions specifically related to declarative memory, such as the use of strategies during memory retrieval (Van der Werf et al. 2003).
The anterior thalamic radiation comprises fibers that run between medio - dorsal thalamic nuclei and the frontal cortex and also between anterior thalamic nuclei and the anterior cingulate cortices (Catani et al. 2013).
The microstructural properties of the anterior thalamic radiation and IFOF have also been associated with individual differences in empathic abilities (experiencing emotion in response to the perceived emotions of others).
In keeping with Pape et al. (2015) and Zhang et al. (2014a), increased FA and reduced RD in the right ILF, right IFOF, left SLF, various other tracts belonging to the cortico - spinal tract (left cerebral peduncle, bilateral internal capsule), and projection / thalamic pathways (left superior and posterior corona radiate, bilateral thalamic radiation and left external capsule) was found in CD / CU + relative to CD / CU - individuals.
Finally, we found increased FA and reduced RD and MD in projection / thalamic pathways (the left cerebral peduncle, bilateral internal capsule, left superior and posterior corona radiata, bilateral thalamic radiation and left external capsule).
Parkinson and Wheatley (2014) found that greater levels of empathic concern were associated with greater FA in association fiber tracts linking areas involved in visual and affective processing (ILF and IFOF), and areas of the limbic system (UF and anterior thalamic radiation).
