Hierarchical cluster analysis to categorize eNAc regions by Scratch-Fos correlations under different itch/scratch conditions. A hierarchical cluster analysis to categorize eNAc regions by scratching and Fos expression in four itch/scratch conditions. A Left: A dendrogram representing clusters based on the Scratch-Fos correlation coefficients of 95 regions (4 zones × 8 sectors × 3 planes, excluding zone 4-sector 5 in the rostral slice). The vertical dashed line indicates the Euclidean distance threshold used to separate the regions into 5 independent clusters. The three-digit numbers to the right of the dendrogram correspond to plane-zone-sector IDs (Table 1). Right: Heat map plot showing the Scratch-Fos correlation coefficient in each region under four itch/scratch conditions. The color is according to the scale on the right. B The mean Scratch-Fos correlation coefficient in each cluster under the different itch/scratch conditions. The numbers below the figure indicate the cluster numbers shown in Fig. 8A. C Zone-and-sector plots showing the clusters to which each region belongs. Cluster numbers are shown with a color index on the right
