Definition of anatomical region of interest (ROI) placements, superimposed on coronal slices through the rat neuraxis (Paxinos and Watson, 2005). A digital rat brain atlas superimposed onto corresponding structural images guided ROI drawing. (1) Motor cortex; (2) medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC); (3) orbital cortex; (4) olfactory bulb (including olfactory tubercle and piriform cortex); (5) insula; (6) somatosensory cortex; (7) nucleus accumbens; (8) cingulate cortex; (9) caudate and putamen; (10) septum; (11) thalamus; (12) retrosplenial dysgranular and granular cortices (RSDG); (13) hypothalamus; (14) amygdala; (15) parietal cortex; (16) hippocampus; (17) auditory cortex; (18) visual cortex; (19) brain stem; (20) periaqueductal gray; (21) ventral tegmental area (VTA); (22) substantia nigra; (23) perirhinal cortex; and (24) entorhinal cortex. Numbers below images indicate slice locations (mm) relative to bregma. Functionally activated ROIs within these anatomically defined ROIs were based on whole brain, voxel-based analyses.
