Regions of statistically significant differences of functional brain activation in rats with unilateral striatal lesions in lesioned and sham-lesioned rats either at rest (Lesion + Rest, n = 9, Sham+ Rest, n = 7) or during a treadmill walking (Lesion+ Locomotor, n = 9, Sham+ Locomotor, n = 8). Depicted is a selection of representative coronal slices (anterior-posterior coordinates relative to bregma). Colored overlays show statistically significant positive (red) and negative (blue) differences (voxel level, p< 0.01). Abbreviations are those from the Paxinos and Watson (2002) rat atlas: 5 (trigeminal nucleus, motor, sensory), A (amygdala), aca (anterior commissures), APT (anterior pretectal nucleus), Cb (cerebellum), CM (central medial thalamic nucleus), CPu (striatum), GPE (external globus pallidus), GPI (internal globus pallidus), I (insular cortex), LP (lateral posterior thalamic nucleus), M1, M2 (primary, secondary motor cortex), MG (medial geniculus), P (parietal cortex), S1BF, S1J, S1U, S1FL, S1HL, S1Tr (primary somatosensory cortex, barrel field, jaw, lip, forelimb, hindlimb, trunk), PH (posterior hypothalamus), Pir (piriform cortex), Re (thalamic reuinens nucleus), RLi (rostral linear raphe), SC (superior colliculus), SN (substantia nigra), STN (subthalamic nucleus), SuM (supramammillary nucleus), V1, V2 (primary and secondary visual cortex), VM (ventromedial thalamic nucleus), VL/VA (ventral lateral, ventral anterior thalamic nucleus), VPL/VPM (ventral posterolateral, ventral posteromedial thalamus), ZI (zona inserta).
