  • All values are mean ± SEM. Units of measure for FA, MD, NDI, and ODI are 103 mm2/s. ROIs correspond to ROIs derived from the P72 UNC Atlas. Diffusion measure abbreviations: Hemi = hemisphere; FA = fractional anisotropy; MD = mean diffusivity, NDI = neurite density index; ODI = orientation dispersion index. ROI abbreviations: HC = hippocampus; EC = external capsule; BG = basal ganglia; IC = internal capsule; NC = neocortex; CC = corpus callosum. For all sample groups, n =6.

  • a Statistically significant.

  • b Statistically significant after controlling the FDR with the Benjamini–Hochberg procedure (FDR = 0.05).
