Figure 1.
Schematic drawings and images illustrating brain areas of analysis. Areas of analysis indicated were based on landmarks unique for each brain region, did not differ between experimental groups, and were 1.25 mm2 in mPFC subregions (a), 1.3 mm2 in the NAc core and shell (b), 1.0 mm2 in the MPN (c), 1.25 mm2 in the BNST subregions (d), 1.6, 2.25, and 2.5 mm2 in the BLA, CeA, and MEApd respectively (e), and 3.15 mm2 in the VTA (f). Abbreviations: aco, anterior commisure; AQ, cerebral aqueduct; cc, corpus callosum; CP, caudate putamen; fr, fasciculus retroflexus; fx, fornix; ml, medial lemniscus; MM, medial mammillary nucleus; opt, optic tract; V3, third ventricle; sm, stria medullaris; st, stria terminalis VL, lateral ventricle. Brain drawings were modified from Swanson (1998).
