Cognitive development is characterized by the structural and functional maturation of brain. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) provides methods investigating brain structure connectivity their correlations with neurocognitive outcome. Our aim was to examine relationship between early visual abilities, white matter structures, later
