Table 3.

Comparisons of the mean number of c-Fos immunolabeled nuclei per mm2 throughout the rostro-caudal extent of each subdivision within the VNC and VeCb from sham and jerk stimulated groups. Values are mean ± standard error of mean (n = 4 rats per group)

Key
R Significant difference from rostral counterpart
M Significant difference from mid rostro-caudal counterpart
C Significant difference from caudal counterpart
* Significant p-value <0.05
** Significant p-value <0.01
*** Significant p-value <0.001
