Figure 4. Quantification of SERT-positive capillaries per brain region.

Figure 4

Bar graphs represent the intraluminal diameter in micrometers (μm) of capillaries, specified per region. The regions identified are as follows (colors correspond to their representation in figure 3): left cortex (LC, light blue), right cortex (RC, dark blue), left caudate putamen (LCP, light green), right caudate putamen (RCP, dark green), left nucleus accumbens (LNA, yellow), right nucleus accumbens (RNA, orange), corpus callosum (CC, red), and lateral septal complex (LS, purple). Empty bars indicate the capillaries without SERT present, filled-in bars represent capillaries with SERT present. Above each bar is the number of capillaries sampled for that category and the ILD range observed. Statistical analysis comparing the ILD of vessels with and without SERT for each region was performed using an unpaired t test: * p-value of <0.05, ** p-value of <.01, **** p-value of <0.0001, and † indicates a significant difference between the hemispheres.
