    Figure 3.

    Clusters identified in the fornix-specific TBSS analysis (red voxels), in which MD was more predictive of discrimination accuracy for scenes than faces, in Tasks A (A) and B (B). The clusters are overlaid on coronal sections of the MNI template and the white matter skeleton (green voxels) of all participants, separately for Tasks A and B.
