Similar distributions of PVS morphological features are found in the BG and white matter. The relationship between PVS morphology between the white matter (x-axis) and BG (y-axis) are shown for (A) PVS VF, (B) PVS count, (C) mean PVS diameter and (D) mean PVS solidity are shown. A significant and positive relationship between PVS features in the white matter and basal ganglia were found for all PVS features, where subjects with low PVS burden in the white matter also tended to have low PVS burden in the BG, and vice versa. Each point corresponds to the measurement of a single subject and is color-coded according to the HCP cohort: green – HCP-D, blue – HCP-YA, red – HCP-A.
