Figure 4. Dopaminergic Sensitization.
DA levels in the NAc expressed as percent change from baseline in the same animals in (a) intermittently stressed (n=7, filled circles) or control (n=5, open circles) male rats and (b) intermittently stressed (n=7, filled triangles) or control (n=5, open triangles) female rats. All values are means ± SEM; *=p<0.05, **=p<0.01, ***=p<0.001 compared to within-group baseline and ##=p<0.01, ###=p<0.001 compared to same-sex control.
