Group differences in myelin water fraction (MWF) between healthy controls and participants with chronic stroke. MWF was significantly reduced in whole-cerebrum normal appearing white matter (NAWM) in the stroke group comparedtowhole-cerebrum NAWMinthehealthy group(A),intheipsilesional posterior limb of internal capsule (PLIC) and non-dominant PLIC MWF in the healthy group (B) and in the contralesional PLIC for the stroke group versus dominant PLIC in the healthy group (C) (*p b 0.05). Error bars represent standard deviation (Fig. 5, Borich MR, Mackay AL, Vavasour IM, Rauscher A, Boyd LA. Evaluation of white matter myelin water fraction in chronic stroke.
