Average measured ADC and FA values recorded across eight subjects at 2- and 1-mm² resolutions in the listed target regions for each of the three midbrain planes. Listed p-values correspond to the significance of the change in values at the two resolutions, expressed additionally as a percentage difference.

Indicates statistically significant results.
