1 Voxel-based morphometry analysis of gray and white matter differences in the CONT and ID pig brains at PND 61. A threshold of p <0.001 and minimum cluster size of 20 voxels were used to determine p-uncorrected values listed in the table. Abbreviations: control (CONT), iron deficient (ID). 2 Brain regions based on visual inspection of the cluster location and cross-referenced with the Piglet Brain Atlas [29]. 3 Local maxima coordinates: X increases from left (−) to right (+), Y increases from posterior (−) to anterior (+), and Z increases from inferior (−) to superior (+).
