Table 1.

Test-retest reliability statistics for microstructure measures. Units (mean and SD) for MD and RD = 10−3 mm2/s; units for R1 = s−1, CV = averaged within subject, ICC = averaged across 5 repeated measures.

One-way ANOVAs demonstrated no significant differences between ICC computed for individual time point pairs or between average ICC and individual time point ICC comparisons for the CST (F(9,70) = 0.74, p = .67) and the Fornix (F(9,70) = 0.19, p = .07). Although initially a difference was suggested for the Arcuate Fasciculus (F(9,70) = 2.2, p = .03), no comparisons survived correction for multiple comparisons as shown with Tukey post-hoc correction.
