Comparison of Fos-IR Nuclei per Region of Interest Following Injection of GR73632 or Saline. Data is presented (mean ± SEM) for each group and each region of interest. Significance level was determined by two-tailed Student’s T-test between groups, and was considered statistically significant when p ≤ 0.05. Significant differences between GR73632 and saline injected groups (N=6 per group) were found in the NTS, the DMNX, and the ENS.

Region of Interest GR73632 Saline Significance level
PFC 116.8 ± 27.9 173 ± 26.4 0.25
NTS 20.5 ± 2.8 8.1 ± 2.9 0.004
AP 4.8 ± 1.7 2.0 ± 1.2 0.178
DMNX 4.9 ± 1.2 1.8 ± 0.7 0.047
ENS 11.8 ± 3.2 5.2 ± 2.6 0.05

Abbreviations: AP – area postrema; DMNX – dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve; ENS – enteric nervous system; NTS – nucleus of the solitary tract; PFC – prefrontal cortex.
