DTI
measures of normal children during their pubertal period were investigated.
When age was matched for the pre-adolescence group (Tanner score 1) and
adolescence (Tanner score 3&4) group, there was no significant DTI
measures between these groups. However, DTI measures showed strong
correlations with age for the entire subjects. Our study may indicate that
changes in DTI measures over age are not driven by puberty-related changes
directly.
