Table 3 Significance of difference of axon diameter, cross-sectional area, and myelin thickness between S I and other segments in the CC in autistic and control subjects (test for diversity of axons within segments)

From: Deficit of corpus callosum axons, reduced axon diameter and decreased area are markers of abnormal development of interhemispheric connections in autistic subjects
