P < .0001.
Tract-based comparisons between groups are corrected for age and gender. FA and MTR measurements are based on 39 patients and 40 control subjects for the right uncinate fasciculus because in 1 patient the right uncinate fasciculus could not be tracked.
After removal of 1 outlier from healthy participants (MTR values including outlier were 61.28 (0.90) for healthy participants and F(1,76) was 0.51).
