White Matter Alterations in Parkinson’s disease


Normal cognition precede grey matter atrophy
Significant group differences (p < 0.05, corrected) in the white matter revealed 
by tract-based spatial statistics.

A) without flipping, B) after flipping to the left and C) to the right side. 

Color code: red = increased, blue = decreased diffusion parameters in the Parkinson patients.

Compared to the healthy subjects; green = skeleton of the white matter tracts. 

AD = axial, MD = mean and RD = radial diffusion. MNI coordinates of the voxel showing the highest significance is provided on the figure.
