Fig. 2

The group differences in FCT-DT consistency in the WM tracts. (A) The FCT-DT consistency of each WM tract in the ASD group and TD group. The size of a node is directly proportional to the volume of the corresponding white matter tract, implying that a larger node corresponds to a greater volume of the white matter tract. Meanwhile, the color of a node is positively correlated with the consistency of FCT-DT, where darker colors indicate a higher degree of consistency. (B) Between-group differences in FCT-DT consistency. The inner circular bars represent t-values of the corresponding WM tract. The red dashed circle represents p = 0.05 uncorrected, * p < 0.05 after FDR correction.
