ACR: anterior corona radiata; ALIC: anterior limb of internal capsule; BCC: body of the corpus callosum; CGC: cingulum (cingulated gyrus); CGH: cingulum (hippocampus); EC: external capsule; FX/ST: fornix (cres) stria terminalis; GCC: genu of the corpus callosum; IFO: inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus; PCR: posterior corona radiata; PLIC: posterior limb of internal capsule; PTR: posterior thalamic radiation (include optic radiation); RLIC: retrolenticular part of internal capsule; SCC: splenium of the corpus callosum; SCR: superior corona radiata; SLF: superior longitudinal fasciculus and SS: sagittal stratum.
Capital P versus N indicates the significant difference between patient and control groups.
