Table 2.
Anatomical tracts included in significant cluster. A single significant cluster demonstrating a group difference between early and late puberty groups was identified using TBSS; for information purposes anatomical tracts comprising this cluster are detailed below, with the number of voxels included in the cluster detailed for each tract. MD was significantly lower in the late puberty group than the early puberty group. L; left, R; right.
