Statistical Analysis
GraphPad Prism software (Version 9.1.2.) was utilised to carry out the statistical analyses. Data were first tested for normality using Shapiro-Wilk’s test and homogeneity of variance using Brown-Forsythe’s test. All data were confirmed to be parametric and were consequently expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean and analysed by ANOVA. Behavioural data were analysed using a two-way ANOVA with repeated-measures (with within-subject factor of time and between-subject factor of group) with post hoc Tukey analyses. Histological data were analysed using one-way ANOVA (with between-subject factor of group) with post hoc Tukey analyses. Results were deemed significant if p < 0.05. Throughout the results, the main outcome from the ANOVA is given in the text while the outcome of any post hoc analysis is shown in the relevant figure and explained in the corresponding legend.
