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.
