Volume measurements of different anatomical structures. Panels a, b show a single slice of a multi-slice T2w scan of WKY and SHR rats respectively. c Total intracranial (IC) volume was significantly smaller in SHR compared to WKY. d, e Lateral ventricle (LV) and third ventricle (3V) volumes were significantly larger in SHR. f The brain parenchymal (BP) volume was remarkably less in the hypertensive animals. g, h Corpus callosum (cc) was smaller in SHR compared to WKY, while the hippocampus (Hc) volume was not different between the two strains. n = 11 for WKY and n = 10 for SHR. The boxplots indicate the median and values of the 25th and 75th percentile of the data. * p ≤ 0.05, *** p ≤ 0.001 (unpaired Student’s t-test)
