1 Pigs received diets containing 0 (Control) or 250 (Test) mg of bovine milk OPN per L of mixed milk replacer during a 30d feeding study (n = 11 male pigs for control group and 10 male pigs for test group). Voxel-based morphometry analysis of gray and white matter differences in the Test and Control piglet brains. A threshold of p < 0.01 and minimum cluster size of 20 voxels were used to determine p-uncorrected values listed in the table. Abbreviation: OPN, osteopontin.2 Indicates which diet had greater tissue density for the corresponding cluster defining a set area within the standardized atlas space. 3 Brain regions based on estimates from the University of Illinois Piglet Brain Atlas. 4 Clusters are defined as 3-dimentional volumes composed of contiguous voxels within a static location within the standardized atlas space. 5 Local maxima coordinates: x increases from left (−) to right (+), y increases from posterior (−) to anterior (+), and z increases from inferior (−) to superior (+).
