Shown is a truncated list of 116 brain areas and their median (med), maximum (max), and minimum (min) number of voxels as a percentage of the total ROI volume (i.e., number of voxels activated, divided by the total number of voxels in the 3D volume of interest, times 100) for wild-type, HET, and HOMzQ175 mice following exposure to odor of almond. These volumes of activation for each brain region across genotypes were analyzed using a Newman–Keuls multiple comparisons test statistic and rank order for their significance. p Values are presented on the far right column. The shaded gray columns highlight the median number of voxels for each ROI and each genotype to aid in visual comparisons.
