From: Constrained spherical deconvolution-based tractography and tract-based spatial statistics show abnormal microstructural organization in Asperger syndrome

Figure 2

Tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) revealed widely distributed local increases in fractional anisotropy (FA) in individuals with Asperger syndrome (AS). Four axial slices are shown (upper left: slice 97, upper right: slice 93, lower left: slice 77, lower right: slice 64). The green color shows the mean FA skeleton calculated from all subjects by TBSS, and the red color indicates the areas of increased FA in individuals with AS (corrected P <0.05). SLF, superior longitudinal fasciculus; CST, corticospinal tract; SCC, splenium of corpus callosum; ATR, anterior thalamic radiation; IFO, inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus; PTR, posterior thalamic radiation; UNC, uncinate fasciculus; ILF, inferior longitudinal fasciculus. The white matter (WM) tracts were identified with the JHU ICBM-DTI-81 White-Matter Labels Atlas in the Functional MRI of the Brain (FMRIB) Software Library (FSL).
