Transverse relaxation time (T2), Fractional Anisotropy (FA) and Trace comparison.

T2 (ms) FA Trace Diffusivity
Left Right Left Right Left Right
Bipolar (N=8) 94.15 ± 2.65 90.39 ± 5.13 0.39 ± 0.12 0.45 ± 0.12 2.40E-03 ± 2.00E-04 2.27E-03 ± 1.03E-04
Normal Control (N=8) 91.58 ± 3.23 93.29 ± 1.93 0.50 ± 0.12 0.49 ± 0.10 2.12E-03 ± 1.98E-04 2.12E-03 ± 1.31E-04

Note: The trace diffusivity is higher in the left and right cingulate-paracingulate compared with the healthy control subjects (Left: F(1,15) = 6.884, p = 0.021; Right: F(1,15) = 6.396, p = 0.025, covariates : age).
