Left and right cerebrum metabolites found to be significantly correlated to precocious visual behaviour.

<p>Pearson correlations were used to assess the relationship between behaviours indicative of precocious visual behaviour (i.e., less time spent in the deep region of the visual cliff apparatus) and relative concentrations of metabolites found to be significantly altered by stress in a Mann-Whitney U test. Positive correlations indicate that precocious development of depth perception was linked to lower metabolite concentrations, while negative correlations indicate that precocious development of depth perception was linked to higher metabolite concentrations. Metabolites for which more than one NMR resonance peak was identified are represented as metabolite.1, metabolite.2, … metabolite.n. † Indicates metabolites that were significantly correlated to precocious visual behaviour in both left and right cerebra.</p> <p>(DOCX)</p>
