Note: Hyphens indicates the absence of the specified type of analysis. AD = axial diffusivity; ADC = apparent diffusion coefficient; FA = fractional anisotropy; FSL = FMRIB Software Library; HCP = Human Connectome Project; MD = mean diffusivity; MNI = Montreal Neurological Institute; N/A = not reported; RD = radial diffusivity; ROI = region of interest; SPM = Statistical Parametric Mapping; T = Tesla; TBSS = tract-based spatial statistics; VBM = voxel-based morphometry.
