Waypoint correlation p-values along the tracts.

Relationships between the DTI-metrics and clinical variables are shown projected onto a T1-w template and mean tract pathways. Red regions show significant correlations with reduced FA (first row) and increased MD (second row). Relationships between duration (corrected for age) and FA/MD of ipsilateral anterior UF and ILF regions and correlations between age at onset (MD of UF/ILF) and seizure burden (FA of UF) were found.

FA = fractional anisotropy; MD = mean diffusivity; SLFt = superior longitudinal fasciculus - temporal segment; CAB = cingulum–angular bundle; ILF = inferior longitudinal fasciculus; UF = uncinate fasciculus.
