Effect of CEA inactivation with lidocaine on the properties of diazepam in the elevated plus maze. Diazepam increased percent open arm time and entries (indicated by bars with asterisks panels ‘a’ and ‘b’, respectively) and the distance traveled (panel ‘c’) in the elevated plus maze by CeA injected rats. Microinjection of lidocaine into the CeA failed to affect the anxiolytic properties of diazepam. Panel ‘d’ represents plates adapted from Paxinos and Watson (1997) for representing −2.12 to −3.30 from Bregma. These plates show placement of injection cannula tips in the CeA. All bars represent mean ± SEM of n=4–13 rats.
