Figure 3.
Mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in the dorsolateral thalamus at each time point are showing decreased mean ADC values in the dorsolateral thalamus of the injured hemisphere compared with those of the contralateral hemisphere from 1 day to 3 days. Mean ADC values in the dorsolateral thalamus of the injured hemisphere are normalized at 7 days. Asterisks are indicating significant differences (p < 0.05, two-sample t-test) in mean ADC values between the dorsolateral thalamus of the injured and contralateral hemispheres. Injured = dorsolateral thalamus of the injured hemisphere; contralateral = dorsolateral thalamus of the contralateral hemisphere.
