Table 1.

Pearson correlation coefficients, 95% confidence intervals, and sample sizes for correlations of white pulp area of spleen and behavior in the forced swim task, an object in place task, hippocampal sub-granular zone Reelin expression, and GluR1 expression for corticosterone treated males and females. Values are represented as the percentage differences from the mean of the vehicle/vehicle group of the corresponding sex.

Treatment group	White pulp atrophy by forced swim test immobility	White pulp atrophy by object location discrimination ratio	White pulp atrophy by Reelin expression in SGZ	White pulp atrophy by GluR1 expression in SGZ
Male Corticosterone/Vehicle	0.03 (−0.43 to 0.48) n = 19	−0.28(−0.75 to 0.38) n = 11	0.05(−0.49 to 0.57) n = 14	−0.10(−0.58 to 0.43) n = 15
Female Corticosterone/Vehicle	−0.09(−0.59 to 0.47) n = 14	0.02(−0.66 to 0.67) n = 9	−0.59(−0.97 to 0.61) n = 5	0.33(−0.43 to 0.82) n = 9
All Corticosterone/Vehicle	0.04(−0.31 to 0.38) n = 33	−0.06(−0.44 to 0.34) n = 25	−0.03(−0.48 to 0.43) n = 19	−0.05(−0.45 to 0.36) n = 24

Note. GluR1: glutamate receptor 1; SGZ: subgranular zone. Values are represented as the percentage differences from the mean of the vehicle/vehicle group of the corresponding sex.
