  • CB = cingulum bundle; DTI = diffusion tensor imaging; FA = fractional anisotropy; ILF = inferior longitudinal fasciculus; ROI = region of interest; SE = standard error; SLF = superior longitudinal fasciculus.

  • * For each ROI, the effects of age, sex, handedness, DTI protocol and FA values of the other ROIs were regressed out and the standardized residuals were used in the analyses.
