Fig 1. FA differences between ALS patients in the three stages of ALS and healthy controls.

Fig 1

in the stage 2A, FA decrease (red-yellow scale, p<0.05, corrected) is evident in the body of CC and left corticospinal tract (CST), principally in its rostral part underneath primary motor cortex (upper panels); in the stage 2B, FA decrease (red-yellow scale, p<0.001, uncorrected) occurs in the left cerebellar hemisphere, beyond CC body and WM underneath the left precentral gyrus (middle panels); in the stage 3, FA decrease (red-yellow scale) (p<0.05, corrected) is highlighted in WM underneath pre and postcentral gyri including the rostral part of CSTs, the body of CC, bilateral superior and inferior longitudinal and inferior fronto-occipital fasciculi (lower panels).
