Figure 3. Increases in FLI in the central, basolateral, and medial subnucleui of the amygdala following AJS.
A.) Visual representation of the caudal, middle, and rostral subdivisions of the amygdala evaluated from a single rat. Circular outlines define approximate location of each subnucleus. Black bar represents 50 μm. B.) Average number of FLI-positive neurons in the caudal BLA. C.) Average number of FLI-positive cells in the caudal MEA. D.) Average number of FLI-positive neurons in the caudal and rostral CEA. *indicates significant treatment effect (P<0.03); # indicates significant strain effect (P<0.03). FLI=fos-like immunoreactivity; CEA=central nucleus of the amygdala; BLA=basolateral nucleus of the amygdala; MEA=medial nucleus of the amygdala; OC=optic tract.
