Table 2. Quantification of FA in the Region of Mossy Fibers in Excised Brains.

Bilateral increase in FA is seen in the spontaneously seizing rat brain images compared to both a naïve control and rats that underwent SE but did not exhibit any spontaneous seizures. The rats that did not spontaneously seize post-SE, exhibited increased FA in the right hippocampus but not in the left hippocampus.

		FA
		Average	Std. Dev	Mann- Whitney test
Right Dentate Gyrus	Naïve Control	2.58E-01	1.87E-02
	Spontaneously seizing	3.89E-01	3.66E-02	*, **
	No Spontaneous seizures	3.01E-01	2.04E-02	*
Left Dentate Gyrus	Naïve Control	2.67E-01	1.80E-02
	Spontaneously seizing	3.88E-01	2.17E-02	*, **
	No Spontaneous seizures	2.83E-01	1.74E-02

^*p < 0.1 from Mann-Whitney U test comparing both post-SE rats to naïve control

^**p < 0.1 from a Mann-Whitney U test comparing spontaneously seizing rat to the non-spontaneously seizing rat post-SE.
