Figure 4.

Stress-induced changes of DTI metrics in white matter structures. Longitudinal within- and between-group differences of DTI metrics in the corpus callosum (A–C), external capsule (D–F), and anterior commissure (G,H). Note that most values changed significantly over time as the animals matured. Data are means ± SD. Asterisks indicate significant differences between the control and stress groups at the given time point. FA, Fractional anisotropy; MD, Mean diffusivity; RD, Radial diffusivity; AD, Axial diffusivity.
