Abstract
⺠Corticospinal tracts (CSTs) and neostriatum continue to develop during childhood. ⺠Diffusion MRI was used to study corticospinal tract and neostriatum microstructure. ⺠A simple visuomotor task assessed choice reaction time in children aged 7 to 13 years. ⺠Faster reaction times correlated with lower CST and neostriatum mean diffusivity. ⺠Children of similar age may vary in the phase of maturation of the motor system.
