The data presented here are the mean LCGU rates (expressed in μmol/100 gm/min ± SEM) in several subregions at seven different levels in the frontal plane from the rostral to the caudal parts of the left and right caudate nuclei in the DSA, DOA, SMC, and VD conditions. Level 1 is the most rostral, whereas level 7 is the most caudal. A MANCOVA has been performed to the four conditions in the different striatal subregions to compare the four with one another. The results of this analysis are shown in Results.
