Table 5. AD change in white matter tracts and working memory change.
Spatial Span Backward | Digit Span Backward | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Tract | Hemisphere | r | p | r | p |
ILF | right | -.24 | .004 | -.05 | .563 |
IFOF | right | -.22 | .008 | .01 | .951 |

Partial correlation between change in AD in specific white matter tracts and change in Spatial Span Backward scores, controlling for age, sex, interval and motion at both time points. ILF = Inferior longitudinal fasciculus, IFOF = Inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, UF = Uncinate fasciculus and FMaj = Forceps major. Numbers in bold signify Bonferroni-corrected significance level p < .05.
