The axon orientation ratio is calculated as the ratio of the axon counts in and perpendicular to the main fibre direction. q-values correspond to significance levels after the Benjamini–Hochberg procedure to decrease the false discovery rate to 0.05. q-values below 0.05 are made bold. NT1 = Narcolepsy type 1; SD = standard deviation.
