Quantitative analysis of phosphorylated CREB-immunoreactive cells in three subdivisions of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus in stress-free immature rats and 2-min after stress onset

Regions	Stress-free	2-min Stress
Anterior parvocellular (ap)	197.8±14.7	200.6±16.6
Medial parvocellular (mp)	159.8±3.0	186.5±1.6^*
Posterior magnocellular (pm)	44.8±0.8	44.9±2.7

Values are pCREB immunoreactive neurons per 5 × 10⁴ μm² (ap, mp) or 2 × 10⁴ μm² (pm) of each PVN subdivision, and are presented as mean±S.E.M. of three rats. See Methods section for details of unbiased counting methods.

Statistically different from stress-free value, P=0.0013.
