  1. All analyses were unpaired two-way ANOVAs with significant differences in the motor cortex (Age: P = 0.0005***; Genotype: P < 0.0001****), MPFC (Age: P = 0.0053**; Genotype: P = 0.0054**), somatosensory cortex (Age: P < 0.0001****; Genotype: P = 0.0251*) and entorhinal cortex (Age: P < 0.0072**; Genotype: P = 0.7548). Bonferroni post-tests were used to compare the effect of genotype at each age group, with the adjusted P-value (adj. P) reported in the table for regions that had significant genotype effects
