Mean (hash marks) and standard error (lines) for thalamic mean kurtosis (MK) in controls, and for cognitively normal and cognitively impaired subjects. Cognitively impaired subjects show significantly lower MK in the thalamus than unimpaired subjects and controls. (From Grossman EJ, Jensen JH, Babb JS, et al.
