we sought to assess how brain pathology might impact the relationship between the CC microstructure and the degree of language lateralization by examining patients with brain tumors in the left hemisphere. We combined data for the FA values in the anterior and posterior part of the corpus callosum in patients with left dominant, right dominant, or co-dominant language lateralization for patients with brain tumors in the left hemisphere.
