Figure 3

The bar graphs show the mean number of Fos-positive neurons in the examined brainstem nuclei in the LPS-, vehicle-treated and anesthetic controls. (A) Double asterisks (**) mark significant FLI in the IRF/PCRF nucleus, while single asterisk (*) marks a trend in FLI increase in the NTSi nucleus in LPS-treated animals compared to vehicle-treated animals and anesthetic controls. (B) No statistically significant differences between these groups were found within the higher-order nuclei of laryngeal afferents (PAG) and non-specific nuclei of laryngeal control (LC and AP). IRF/PCRF, intermediate/parvicellular reticular formation; NTS, solitary tract nucleus; Sp5, spinal trigeminal nucleus; PAG, periaqueductal gray; LC, locus coeruleus; AP, area postrema; NTSi, interstitial nucleus of the NTS; NTSim, intermediate nucleus of the NTS; NTSm, medial nucleus of the NTS; L, left; R, right.
