3D Reconstructions of Subcortical Brain Areas Sensitive to Cortical Contusion.

<p>The brain areas in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0125748#pone.0125748.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a> with significant differences in FA values between the ipsilateral concussed side of the brain and the contralateral side are shown in colored 3D volumes for both the rostral and the caudal fluid percussion injuries. Top images are coronal displays while the bottom images show a sagittal view of the brain. The individual brain areas are coalesced into a single volume (yellow) on the right side of the brain. The red oval depicts the approximate location of the fluid percussion injury. The significantly different cortical areas reported in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0125748#pone.0125748.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a> are not shown because they would obscure the visualization of the underlying subcortical brain areas. The medial amygdala and posterior amygdala from the <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0125748#pone.0125748.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a> caudal concussion are not shown because they are hidden amongst the other amygdaloid nuclei.
