Table 1. Breathing data.

Shown are ventilatory data and linear and nonlinear measures of ventilation for animals pre-procedure and following either sham or middle cerebral artery occlusion procedure. On the right hand side, Pre-p-value results from the comparison of pre-sham and pre-stroke animal ventilation. Post-p-value results from the comparison of sham and stroke animal ventilation.
