Tract‐based spatial statistics maps are shown the correlation between cognitive changes and FA alterations in HA group. The decreased DVBM scores were significantly correlated with FA in the ILF‐R, inferior longitudinal fasciculus (p < .05, TFCE corrected). DVBM, delayed verbal memory; HA, high altitude; FA, fractional anisotropy; ILF‐R, right inferior longitudinal fasciculus [Color figure can be viewed at http://wileyonlinelibrary.com]
