Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging and High-Resolution MRI Demonstrate Structural Aberrations of Caudate Putamen and Amygdala after Chronic Mild Stress
Figure 3
Results of the diffusion analysis of the caudate putamen.
Mean (±SD) diffusion kurtosis (top) and diffusivity (bottom) parameters of the caudate putamen. One-way analysis of variance followed by post hoc least significant difference tests showed a significant increase of AD in both the anhedonic-like and resilient animals as compared with the unchallenged group. In addition, MK is significantly decreased in anhedonic-like animals as compared with resilient animals. *p<.05 AD, Axial diffusion; AK, axial kurtosis; MD, mean diffusion; MK, mean kurtosis; RD, radial diffusion; RK, radial kurtosis.
