Figure 1.
Results of fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) for group analysis between children with PMNE and healthy children.
(A) and (B) FA decreases in when compared to healthy children. (C) and (D) MD increases in children with PMNE when compared to TH: thalamus, T: hypothalamus, TH_L: left side of the thalamus, TH_R: right side of the thalamus, MPFC: medial prefrontal cortex, ACC: anterior cingulate cortex, MB: midbrain. Also, X = : X coordinate in MNI space, Z = : Z coordinate in MNI space. (A) and (C) are located in the right brain.
Figure 2.
The results of the region of interest (ROI) analysis of fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD).
P values were analyzed by a two-sample t-test between the two groups. L: left side of the thalamus, R: right side of the thalamus.
