Treat	N	Hippocampus	Other^*	Cortex	Striatum
DHA/LPS	14	33.8±23.1	14.3±8.5	20.4±13.1	25.6±10.7
ALB/LPS	24	31.6±29.7	14.3±12.8	24.8±24.3	23.3±15.9

DHA, docosahexaenoic acid; LPS, Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide; NS, normal saline. Values are means±standard deviation of regional percent damage, calculated from regional volumes using the formula 100*(L-R)/L

other refers to any forebrain tissue other than hippocampus, cortex or striatum
