Association between lower FD and FS-IQ in VP/VLBW adults. A and B show the association between FD (from the clusters of voxels significantly different between groups) and FS-IQ in VP/VLBW adults. In (A) coronal, axial, and sagittal views illustrate the voxelwise significant positive association between lower FD and FS-IQ in VP/VLBW adults. Pink represents the FD voxels significantly positively associated with FS-IQ (p < 0.05). (B) In the upper right panel, for visualization, the association between mean lower FD and FS-IQ is shown. FD values were averaged from all voxels where FD was significantly lower in VP/VLBW adults compared to FT individuals (Fig. 1). MNI coordinates are provided at the bottom. The results in A are presented on the T1-weighted brain image of the MNI152 structural standard template using FSLView Version 5.0.9 (https://fsl.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/fslwiki/FslView).
