Table 2. Summary of findings for (A) average ADC and D-IVIM, (B) direction-wise MR diffusion and pseudodiffusion among 21 ROI assessed, along with statistical scoring.
Asterisks reflect ‘p’ significance values from the nonparametric Mann-Whitney test comparing diffusion measures between KO vs. WT animals ROI-wise (total n=21, balanced groups), along with the magnitude of the difference expressed by the inequality sign. Legend: OLF-olfactory, CA / RSP-cingulate / retrosplenial, VIS-visual (V1), SS-somatosensory (S1), AUD-auditory, HIP-hippocampus, PERI-perirhinal, TH-thalamus, HAB-habenula, HY-hypothalamus, MB-midbrain, PAG-periaqueductal gray, HB-hindbrain; CP-caudate putamen, WM-white matter; 3V-third ventricle, LV-lateral ventricle, 4V-fourth ventricle, PCS-pericisternal space, CoW-Circle of Willis, CB-cerebellum. NS- no significant difference, *-p<0.05, **-p<0.01, by means of Mann-Whitney U-test.
