The negative correlation of education with left parasubiculum (β=−0.37, p <0.05; Figure S1D), left presubiculum (β=−0.28, p =0.055), and left subiculum volume (β=−0.31, p <0.05; Figure S1E) showed significance and a trend toward significance in the aMCI group ( Table 2 ).
In RD, we found pERK increased significantly in detached retina at day 7 and had a trend toward significance at day 3 compared to control retina ( P = 0.0025 day 7 and P = 0.0960 day 3); pERK accumulation was observed in Müller glia endfeet in the GCL and was very abundant in the inner nuclear layer (INL), co-localizing with Sox2 in the Müller glia nuclei with weaker levels in the cytoplasm.
