EC1 | EC2 | VS2 | VS3 | F ratio | P value | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Lactate/NAA | 0.058 | 0.057 | 0.061 | 0.062 | 6.59 | 0.0046 |
Lactate/Cr | 0.160 | 0.158 | 0.172 | 0.173 | 7.05 | 0.0035 |
NAA/Cr | 2.772 | 2.769 | 2.809 | 2.789 | 0.77 | NS |
Ch/Cr | 0.9174 | 0.9203 | 0.9399 | 0.9367 | 1.98 | NS |
0.9 ppm/NAA | 0.024 | 0.024 | 0.023 | 0.023 | 0.35 | NS |
EC1 and EC2 are eyes closed baseline conditions, VS2 and VS3 are visual stimulation conditions. F ratio calculated by ANOVAR over the 4 time periods shown (df = 3, 15 for all). Note that this analysis excludes data from the first minute following the onset of visual stimulation (VS1). Signal centered at 0.9 ppm (normalized to NAA) serves as a control for possible changes in lipid signal over time.
