Identified connections with significant group-wise differences. Significantly different connections are reported in terms of connectivity values and corrected P values. Connectivity values are reported as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Bold text shows identified connections with significant differences (corrected P < 0.001) between PD and SWEDD.
