Little is known about how microstructural and functional neuroplasticity occurs upon cognitive training and the relationship between cognitive training-derived brain changes and cognitive performance. This prospective study aimed to elucidate cognitive training-derived neuroplasticity and the mechanism underlying transfer effects using diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) and resting-state functional MRI (rsfMRI). The results suggest that the right inferior parietal lobule and its neural connections and the right cerebellar vermis may modulate the far-transfer effect.
