Group comparisons of brain volume indices by cognitive status
| CN, n = 29 mean (sd) |
MCI, n = 16 mean (sd) |
t | p | Cohen’s d | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normalized whole brain gray matter | 0.434 (0.028) | 0.426 (0.026) | 0.93 | 0.36 | 0.30 |
| Normalized whole brain white matter | 0.342 (0.026) | 0.345 (0.025) | 0.39 | 0.70 | 0.12 |
| Normalized MTL volume* | 0.580 (0.085) | 0.521 (0.075) | 2.34 | 0.02 | 0.74 |
| Normalized hippocampal volume* | 0.348 (0.051) | 0.316 (0.049) | 2.04 | 0.05 | 0.64 |
| Normalized parahippocampal volume* | 0.233 (0.043) | 0.205 (0.035) | 2.18 | 0.04 | 0.71 |
CN = cognitively normal; MCI = mild cognitive impairment; MTL = medial temporal lobe. Degrees of freedom for all t-tests = 43.
