Table 1. Hierarchical structure identification according to fuzzy clustering of metal distribution. CB = cerebellum; CP = caudoputamen; cpd = cerebral peduncle; CTX = cerebral cortex; HIP = hippocampal formation; HY = hypothalamus; IPN = interpeduncular nucleus; MOB = main olfactory bulb; MTN = midline groups of the dorsal thalamus; MY = medulla; P = pons; PAL = pallidum; RAmb = midbrain raphe nuclei SNc = substantia nigra pars compacta; SNr = substantia nigra pars reticulata; VENT = ventral part of the dorsal thalamus. n/a = not applicable, background single only. * For the section at bregma +4.27 mm only 4 clusters were discernable.
