Directional diffusivity in central corpus callosum and external capsule white matter is altered by CAM-IVH and EPO+MLT treatment. (A) Mean diffusivity is elevated in the corpus callosum vehicle-treated CAM-IVH rats, compared to shams and EPO+MLT-treated CAM-IVH rats. (B) Ellipsoids comprised of the three major eigenvectors of diffusion in the central corpus callosum illustrate the changes in vehicle-treated and EPO+MLT-treated CAM-IVH rats. (C) Axial diffusivity is relatively unaffected by CAM-IVH. (D) Vehicle-treated CAM-IVH rats exhibit elevated radial diffusivity (RD) in central corpus callosum, and neonatal EPO+MLT treatment normalizes the microstructural integrity. (E) Similarly, vehicle-treated CAM-IVH rats show increased RD in the ECWM, and neonatal EPO+MLT treatment normalizes the RD (all comparisons are two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s correction, p < 0.05, ∗∗p ≤ 0.01, ∗∗∗p ≤ 0.001).
