Correlations between total tau levels and behavioral parameters in the elevated zero maze. Total tau levels were previously determined by Western blotting [21] at 40 weeks after blast exposure and correlated with behavioral measures previously found affected in the elevated zero maze in the same blast-exposed rats at 30 weeks following blast exposure [80]. Distance traveled (move distance, a–d) and time spent in the open arms (open arm time, e, f) are shown for the left anterior cortex (a), right anterior cortex (b), left hippocampus (c, e) and right hippocampus (d, f). Five blast and five control animals were analyzed. Kendal's tau-b correlation coefficients and p values are indicated
