Data analyses. Sample sizes were determined by power analysis using G*Power (v.3.1.9.2) based on previous works published by our lab on CBF regulation cognitive testing [25 (link), 33 (link)]. The experiments were randomized based on the random number generator (https://www.random.org) and were performed and analyzed in a blinded fashion whenever possible. Data and image analyses were done using ImageJ 1.54c (NIH) or Prism 9 for MacOS (GraphPad Software). Data were tested for normal distribution by the D’Agostino–Person test and for outliers by the Grubbs’ test (extreme studentized deviate). Two-group comparisons were analyzed using paired or unpaired two-tailed t-test, as indicated. Multiple comparisons were evaluated by one-way or two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s test. Differences were considered statistically significant for probability values less than 0.05. Data are expressed as the mean ± S.E.M.
