FDR = false discovery rate; SD = standard deviation.

*

Structural measures 1.5 × interquartile range below Q1 (lower quartile) or above Q3 (upper quartile) were removed in all analyses.

Group differences in each diffusion measure using a Student’s t-test (for equal variance) or Welch’s t-test (for unequal variance).

Adjusted for age and sex; analysis of covariance was performed to reveal group differences in structural variables.

§

Adjusted volume was defined as each region of interest volume divided by intracranial volume.
