Diffusion tensor (DT) and diffusional kurtosis (DK) metrics slope estimates in each brain region for the period of 2 to 8 months of age. Normal control (NC) and 3xTG-AD (TG) groups; S: slope estimates; SE: standard error of the slope; mean diffusivity (MD); axial diffusivity (D∥); radial diffusivity (D⊥); fraction anisotropy (FA); mean kurtosis (MK); axial kurtosis (K∥); radial kurtosis (K⊥); kurtosis fraction anisotropy (KFA); p-values at the level of p≤ 0.05 (in bold) after Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate applied to correct for multiple comparisons (8 dMRI metrics compared within each ROI).
