Table 2.
Muscimol in nucleus accumbens expression core versus shell results. No significant differences in behavior were seen between drug animals with hits within the nucleus accumbens core or shell. Thus, bilateral hits in either core or shell were pooled for statistical analyses.
Group | Aggression (Mean ± SEM) | Submission (Mean ± SEM) | Social (Mean ± SEM) | Nonsocial (Mean ± SEM) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Vehicle bilateral hit (n = 11) | 0 ± 0 | 80.73 ± 15.16 | 39.82 ± 7.27 | 179.45 ± 12.64 |
Muscimol bilateral core (n = 3) | 39.33 ± 39.33 | 34.67 ± 17.33 | 129.67 ± 8.67 | 97.0 ± 29.82 |
Muscimol one side core, one side shell (n= 3) | 45.67 ± 44.18 | 10.67 ± 6.49 | 172.0 ± 69.96 | 71.67 ± 30.75 |
Muscimol bilateral shell (n = 8) | 30.38 ± 25.53 | 47.0 ± 16.34 | 85.75 ± 31.56 | 136.38 ± 27.67 |
