Tract ROI defines the white matter region of interest: optic radiation (OR), inferior longitudinal fasciculus (ILF) and inferior frontooccipital fasciculus (IFOF), superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF), and corticospinal tract (CST).
defines the number of voxels surviving the threshold of 0.05. refers to the value for the voxel with the largest -test within a region. Uncorrected values are given for the OR. MNI-coordinates refer to the coordinates of that voxel in mm. refers to the left and right hemisphere.
