Fig. 3. Correlational analysis between brain regions and behavior in MAR-ASD mice.

Fig. 3

a Clustering analysis of correlational data shown in heatmap form. Sex and behavior are displayed on the x-axis with brain region annotation on the y-axis. Clustering was conducted using Euclidean distance and average linkage analysis via the online data visualization tool ClustVis. Heatmap color for individual cells corresponds to the Pearson’s r-value, between 1 and −1, for the relationship between a given brain region and behavior in the juvenile reciprocal social interaction (JRSI) task. Correlational analysis for all data was conducted using SPSS software. bd Scatterplot representation of correlational analysis between the number of nose-to-anogenital (NAg) bouts and volume of the BNST (MAR (N = 11M, 11F), Ctrl (N = 11M, 11F)). b Basal forebrain (BF) c and nucleus accumbens (NAc) d split by sex in MAR-ASD mice. e Graph displaying the relationship between the number of grooming bouts and volume of the dorsolateral orbital cortex (DLOC) in male MAR-ASD and control mice (MAR (N = 11M), Ctrl (N = 10M)). Trendlines and Pearson’s r-value displayed along with scatterplot values for each graph. * = p < 0.05, ** = p < 0.01, ^ = 0.05 < p < 0.1.
