  • a Row I shows that connections coexisted in both groups. Rows II and III show, respectively, the connections in NC and AD. All the connections listed in the Table survived the statistical testing (P < .05).

  • b The connection in NC is significantly stronger than that in AD.

  • c The connection in AD is significantly stronger than that in NC.
