MRI analysis of CSF spaces in Zucker rats. A-B Representative T₂ MRI images from a lean (A) and an obese (B) Zucker rats displaying total CSF spaces illustrated in green (lateral ventricles), dark blue (3^rd ventricle), yellow (4^th ventricle) or light blue (cisterna magna). C Brain volume obtained from the MRI scans, n = 4 of each. D Total CSF space, E Lateral ventricle volume, and F 3^rd ventricle volume obtained from the MRI scans, n = 4 of each. Statistical significance evaluated with Student’s unpaired t-test and results shown as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05, ns = not significant
