    Abstract

    Patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) show evidence of microstructural white matter (WM) damage of thalamocortical fiber tracts and changes of blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal in a striatothalamocortical network. The objective of the present study was to investigate microstructural and volumetric alterations of the putamen in patients with JME using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
