Effects of chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) on density of GFAP-positive cells in the prelimbic cortex (PL). Density of GFAP-positive cells was quantified in the PL of animals subjected to CUS and compared to home cage controls (HCC). Numbers of GFAP-positive cells were quantified throughout the PLC as shown in A (gray squares). (B) Results are expressed as mean ± s.e.m. of GFAP-positive cells/mm2. * P<0.05 compared to HCC. Representative GFAP stained sections from HCC (C) and CUS treated (D) animals are illustrated at approximately 2.7 mm from bregma. Scale bar = 200 μm
