    T1 map computation. Five native inversion-recovery scans are coregistered to the TI = 675 image, and the T1 maps are generated from the normalized inversion-recovery scans. The T1 map is then skull-stripped and normalized to standard space.

    Fig 2.

    ANCOVA voxelwise analyses. Each column represents the 3 orthogonal orientations (axial, coronal, and sagittal) for the significant T1 difference between groups (analysis controlling for age, MAP, and intracranial vault-residualized brain parenchyma; minimum cluster size, 100 voxels; P < .005; FDR < 0.5%) overlaid on the T1 target image.
