Comparison of the mean GFA values of white matter tracts between remission and nonremission groups

	R (n = 50)	NR (n = 41)	ANCOVA
Fiber tracts	GFA value	GFA value
	Mean (SD)	Mean (SD)	p value
Rt. Fornix	0.200 (0.020)	0.182 (0.022)	.001*
U. uncinate fasciculus	0.233 (0.020)	0.215 (0.019)	.001*
Rt. uncinatc fasciculus	0.246 (0.017)	0.225 (0.022)	<.00l*
CF to temporal poles	0.195 (0.015)	0.181 (0.017)	.002*

Note. Abbreviations: CF = callosal fibers; GFA = generalized fractional anisotropy; Lt = left; NR = nonremission; R = remission; RT = right.

Covariates: age, sex, education year, duration of illness, and medication dose.

Bonferroni method was conducted to correct for multiple comparisons of 76 tracts.

*Statistically significant.
