Abstract

Highlights
• Little is known about the neural correlates of communication impairments in TBI.

• Probabilistic tractography was used to investigate white matter fiber bundles.

• TBI patients presented persistent changes in language-related bundles and the genu.

• Discourse impairments were correlated with measures in the left arcuate fasciculus.

• Early neuroimaging of the arcuate fasciculus may help detect discourse impairments.
