  1. All values shown are means ± SEM. Asterisks indicate significant differences using an one-way ANOVA between AHV-independent vs. AHV-dependent cells within brain areas (LMN and DTN), while crosses indicate significant differences using a two-way ANOVA for AHV-dependent HD cells between LMN vs. DTN. Analyses between AHV-independent and AHV-dependent cells within a brain area used an one-way ANOVA, while analyses across brain areas used a two-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey tests. See text for statistical values. For simplicity, significant differences are only shown for LMN vs. DTN groups. Source data is provided in the Source Data File.
