Fig 2. Microstructural asymmetry in the brain.

Fig 2

(A–F) Axon-related asymmetry. (G–L) Myelin-related asymmetry. (A, C) The number of subjects with significantly greater axial diffusivity (AD) on one side or no significant difference (SYMM) between the two sides of the front (A) and back (C) brain in the control group (92 subjects in total). (B, D) The corresponding results for the ALL group (314 subjects in total). (G–J) The corresponding results for radial diffusivity (RD). (E, F) Violin plots of the average AD in each ROI for the subjects in each group, showing the kernel density estimation for each side, with bars representing the first quartile, median, and third quartile. (K, L) The corresponding results for RD. The medians on the left and right (E, F, K, L) were significantly different except for those at positions marked with an asterisk (*), which indicates no significance. ALL, acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
