  • AF = arcuate fasciculus; CG = cingulum; Df = degrees of freedom; Dim = dimension; FA = fractional anisotropy; UN = uncinate fasciculus.

  • * Significant effect after Bonferroni correction for multiple tests (p < 4 × 10−4)

  • Trend toward significance after Bonferroni correction for multiple tests (4 × 10−4 < p < 0.05).
