The concentrations of metabolites (MHPG, 5-HIAA and HVA in nM, i.e., pmol/mL) were compared between baboons with (IED ±) and without (IED−) interictal epileptic discharges or with (PS ±) or without (PS−) photoepileptic responses (PS) on scalp EEG using a one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey’s multiple comparison tests for each metabolite (left three data columns). F, Females. The results are presented as mean ±/− S.D. The Pearson (r) correlation analyses of CSF metabolite concentrations are shown in the right three data columns. Bold values indicate significant differences (*p<0.05). The alpha level was set at 0.05:
