From: Early hippocampal volume loss as a marker of eventual memory deficits caused by repeated stress
Summary of the effect of stress on hippocampal volume and its correlation with spatial memory deficit.
Each circle and line represents a single animal. The dotted lines denote the probability distribution of the stressed (red) and unstressed (black) group of rats. Stress causes a loss in hippocampal volume on day3 and day11 (indicated by the shift of the probability distribution of stressed animals in the bottom and right axes). Stress also causes an impaired performance in spatial memory task (indicated by the shift of the probability distribution of stressed animals in the left axis). Animals having lower hippocampal volume on day3 have lower hippocampal volume on day11; these animals perform more poorly in the ODT on day13. Light red and light black lines depict the average trend for the stressed and unstressed animals respectively.
