Results of MRI-ASL and the MWM test in 2VO + EMS rats. (A) MRI-ASL films showing differences in CBP between the different groups. The EMS side is surrounded by a gray dotted line. (B) Column chart showing the perfusion ratios in different groups. (C) Representative swimming paths obtained from the different groups. (D) Average escape latency in the different groups. (E) Number of platform crossings in different groups. (F) Time spent in the target quadrant by the rats in different groups. (G) Column chart showing the swimming speed in different groups. The error bars represent the ± SDs. ns: P > 0.05, *: P < 0.05, **: P < 0.01. CBP: cerebral blood perfusion; MRI-ASL: magnetic resonance imaging-arterial spin labeling; MWM: Morris water maze; 2VO: 2-vessel occlusion; EMS: encephalo-myo-synangiosis; CPO: copper overload; ROI: region of interest; SD: standard deviation
