---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Fusiform | Middle Temporal | Inferior Temporal | Parahippocampal | Pars Triangularis | Superior Temporal | ||
FA (r) | Control | 0.30 | 0.11 | 0.43 | 0.03 | 0.30 | 0.28 |
MCI | −0.18 | −0.34 | −0.15 | −0.30 | −0.73 | −0.28 | |

MCI | −0.19 | 0.19 | 0.01 | −0.55 | −0.04 | 0.12 |
Note:—ADC indicates apparent diffusion coefficient; DTI, diffusion tensor imaging; FA, fractional anisotropy; GM, gray matter; WM, white matter; ROI, region of interest.
FA and ADC were averaged.
Only cortical structures with statistically significant changes are shown.
