Table 2. Significant between-group differences in FA/MD values in trauma-exposed victims with and without PTSD (P < 0.05, AlphaSim corrected).
Diffusion parameter | Region of white matter | Peak MNI coordinate |
Number of cluster voxels | Peak T value | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
x | y | z | ||||
FA | R-middle temporal gyrus WM | 50 | 10 | -32 | 126 | -5.46 |
R-anterior cingulate cortex WM | 14 | 30 | 26 | 117 | -5.38 | |
R-midbrain WM | 12 | -24 | -10 | 121 | -3.86 | |
L- gyrus rectus/medial OFC WM | -16 | 18 | -16 | 158 | -4.75 | |
MD | R-superior frontal gyrus WM | 22 | 38 | 32 | 189 | -4.52 |
L-subcallosal gyrus WM | -18 | 12 | -12 | 171 | 3.65 |
R = right; L = left; PTSD = posttraumatic stress disorder; FA = fractional anisotropy; MD = mean diffusivity.
T < 0 indicates decreased FA/MD values in trauma-exposed victims with PTSD.
T > 0 indicates increased MD values in trauma-exposed victims with PTSD.
