Figure 4.
Mean group differences in TW-TM for each whole brain tract. Grouped boxplots for each TW-TM for each whole brain tract are shown in (A). A single asterisk denotes the tracts where the mean TW-TM difference between the two patient groups was significant (p < 0.05), whereas two asterisks denote the tracts where the mean TW-TM difference was significant between the FBTCS-Y and control groups (p < 0.05). In panel (B) is a visual representation of the whole-tracts where a significant difference in mean TW-TM was observed between the two patient groups (light blue: inferior fronto-occipital fascicle, metrics: TW-ADC and TW-AD; dark blue: striato-occipital tract, metric: TW-ADC and TW-AD; green: thalamo-occipital tract, metric: TW-ADC). Also shown in panel (B) is the middle cerebellar peduncle (MCP, purple) where a significant difference in mean TW-AD was observed between the FBTCS-Y and control groups. Notably, the mean TW-AD of the middle cerebellar peduncle was significantly different between all patients and controls. Splitting the patients into their subgroups revealed the significant difference was driven by the FBTCS-Y group.
