Table 1. Subject demographics.
Group | n | Age Mean (SD) | IQ Mean (SD) | Race | Mean FD | Mean DVARS a | Mean DVARS b |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Child | 41(20F) | 11.55 (0.82) | 112.10 (13.17) | 28(68%) white | 0.64* | 26.72 | 2.59 |
Early Adolescence | 41(18F) | 14.54 (0.91) | 110.17 (10.94) | 30(73%) white | 0.20 | 21.97 | 2.17 |
Late Adolescence | 53(28F) | 17.89 (0.92) | 112.51 (12.01) | 44(83%) white | 0.22 | 24.84 | 1.60 |
Adult | 57(30F) | 22.38 (1.83) | 116.84 (13.18) | 40(70%) white | 0.18 | 22.97 | 2.43 |
a DVARS calculated prior to wavelet despiking.
b DVARS calculated on motion time series after wavelet despiking. Large decreases indicate wavelet despiking was effective in mitigating head motion confounds.
* Mean FD was significantly greater in the child group compared to each other age group (p < 0.05, Tukey’s honest significant difference corrected for multiple comparisons). A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted between groups for mean DVARS before wavelet despiking (Mean DVARS a ) and again between groups after wavelet despiking (Mean DVARS b ), with no significant differences observed in either test (p > 0.05). Note FD is calculated prior to our motion correction procedure while the final DVARS values (Mean DVARs b ) are calculated after our motion correction procedure.
DVARS, root mean square derivative of fMRI timeseries; F, Female; FD, framewise displacement; SD, standard deviation.
