Changes in diffusion properties in the caudate-putamen during hydrocephalus development.

<p>Diffusion properties showed that the mean diffusivity of the (a) caudate-putamen and (c) dorsal internal capsule was similar in hydrocephalic rats () and controls (□). On the other hand, (b) the fractional anisotropy in caudate-putamen was significantly higher from day seven and (d) the dorsal internal capsule was significantly higher from day three in hydrocephalic rats () and controls (□). <i>P</i> values for significance of the interaction between groups in the RM ANOVA tests and significant Sidak’s comparisons are reported for each graph.
