  1. Using two-tailed paired samples t-test, n = 125. The results are shown as mean ± standard deviation, with volume values adjusted to the total striatal mask volume. Each item was tested as the side with higher putaminal specific binding ratio versus the side with lower putaminal specific binding ratio. Volumes are measured in cm3, iSDs in %, and MCSs are measured as a connectivity score.
  2. MCS mean connectivity score, iSD index of streamline density, SBR specific binding ratio.
  3. p < 0.05 values are highlighted in bold.
