FIGURE 5.

White matter regions where the mean diffusivity (MD) and radial diffusivity (RD) values were correlated with body mass index (BMI) and Japanese Adult Reading Test (JART) score, respectively. BMI was significantly and positively correlated with the right superior longitudinal fasciculus MD value (A, p < 0.05 corrected), while the JART score significantly and negatively correlated with the corpus callosum and left internal capsule RD value (B, p < 0.05 corrected). Images coordinate x = 27.0 mm, y = −17.0 mm, z = 34.0 mm (A) and x = 0.0 mm, y = −15.0 mm, z = 10.0 mm (B), respectively, in the Montreal Neurological Institute 152 T1 atlas. a, anterior; l, left; p, posterior; r, right.
