Fig 6. Representative slices of whole-brain DTI colour maps of the thalamus (Th) for mean diffusivity (MD).

Voxel diffusivity intensities falling below the low threshold are shown in red for MD measurements for all lamb brains. All low-diffusion maps are overlaid on diffusion images for a slice passing through the Th. All lambs in the unoperated control (Cont n = 6; A) group had no low MD values in the Th, but low MD values appeared in the Th of about lambs following sham surgery (Sham n = 5; B), lambs following injurious ventilation (INJ n = 5; C), and lambs following umbilical cord occlusion (INJ+UCO n = 7; D).
