Resting Relative Cerebral Blood Flow (rCBF) in Individuals With and Without an Apolipoprotein ε4 Allele Three-dimensional brain-rendering representation of statistical parametric mapping. Areas of red depict areas in which mean resting rCBF is significantly (P<.05, Bonferroni corrected) different between individuals with and without an ε4 allele. The graphs plot the rCBF values for the 2 groups in regions in which differences were most significant—the left inferior temporal gyrus and the left insula. The values in parentheses in the graph panel labels are Talairach coordinates denoting the exact brain locations of the statistically significant areas.
