Data are expressed as mean (SD). Units of MD are 10-3 mm2/s for mean and standard deviation.
CC: corpus callosum; Cing: cingulum; DAF: direct segment of the arcuate fasciculus; IAAF: indirect anterior segment of the arcuate fasciculus; IPAF: indirect posterior segment of the arcuate fasciculus.
* Statistically significant at the threshold uncorrected p < .05.
