Structural differences in the white matter (WM) between neglected and typically developing (TD) groups using DTI (TBSS).

Caption

Larger WM fiber tracts were observed in the neglected group compared to the TD group. Slices of the mean FA skeleton (green), overlaid with red clusters, depict significantly higher AD values in the neglected group than in the TD group. Here, AD refers to axial diffusivity and FA to fractional anisotropy; both are measures used to assess WM integrity.
