Table 2.
The table summarizes white matter group statistics within white matter regions that significantly SCCA-correlate in toto with cortical thickness. Voxel-wise Wilcoxon rank-sum statistics were used. The raw p-values were then FDR corrected with significance selected at corrected p-value < 0.05 with a minimum cluster size of 20 mm3. The AD-Elderly test were performed using the AD-SCCA regions as a mask. The FTD-Elderly and FTD-AD tests used the FTD-SCCA regions as a mask. White matter regions in FTD focus in the left anterior corona radiata, the splenium, the genu, the bilateral uncinate (left in particular) and the inferior longitudinal fasciculus. In contrast, AD more strongly involves right superior longitudinal fasciculus and the mid-body of the callosum, along with anterior, right temporal lobe white matter tracts and supplemental motor area. No highlighting indicates all contrasts are significant; blue highlighting indicates only the FTD contrasts; yellow highlighting indicates that both the contrasts with elderly are significant; gray highlighting indicates only the FTD-Elderly contrasts reach significance; pink indicates AD-Elderly alone is significant.
