Hemispheric asymmetry of LGI1 expression in the human brain samples. a In the hippocampus, the western blotting and optical density analysis revealed no significant difference in LGI1 expression between both hemispheres (relative LGI1 expression of left/right = 1.39ā€‰Ā±ā€‰1.26, Pā€‰=ā€‰0.653). Four samples (1, 5, 8, and 9) had higher LGI1 expression on the left side. b In the globus pallidus, the LGI1 expression was significantly increased on the left hemisphere (relative LGI1 expression of left/right = 1.97ā€‰Ā±ā€‰1.08, Pā€‰=ā€‰0.019). All samples, except one (1), had higher LGI1 expression on the left side. The box plots show the median (line), interquartile ranges (boxes), and minimum to maximum (whiskers). P values were calculated using Wilcoxon matched pairs signed-rank test. *Pā€‰<ā€‰0.05
