Frontal cortex brain metabolite levels plotted against the behavioral measurements, showing positive correlation with the total distance travelled in the open field and negative correlation with the time spent in the open arms of the EPM test. a) Frontal cortex total Cr levels correlated with the total distance travelled in open field test (r = 0.43, p < 0.02). b) Frontal cortex Glu levels correlated with the total distance travelled in the open field test (r = 0.37, p < 0.04). c) Frontal cortex Ino levels correlated with the total distance travelled in the open field test (r = 0.42, p < 0.02). d) Frontal cortex tCho levels correlated with the total distance travelled in the open field test (r = 0.45, p<0.01). e) Frontal cortex total NAA levels correlated negatively with time spent in the open arms of the EPM (r = -0.44, p < 0.01). f) Frontal cortex Lac levels correlated negatively with time spent in the open arms of the EPM (r = -0.72, p < 0.001). For this analysis, data from all the experimental groups were pooled.
