Figure 2. Structural white matter differences between controls and people who stutter.
Results of analysis of diffusion imaging data in PWS compared to Controls. The skeleton (green) is overlaid onto the average fractional anisotropy (FA) image of the subjects studied. Blue indicates areas where PWS had lower FA than controls. Yellow/orange indicates areas where PWS had higher FA than controls. (Note: statistical maps were thresholded at t(28)>3.1 (p<0.0025, one-tail) and the surviving clusters of voxels were dilated for visualisation purposes only). Numbers above each image indicate the coordinate in mm of that slice in y relative to the vertical coronal plane through the anterior commissure. See Table 1 for further details.
