Figure 2.

Hippocampal formation c-fos mRNA expression in response to the elevated plus maze test in male and female control (C), pair-fed (PF), and prenatal alcohol exposed (PAE) rats, with or without exposure to chronic mild stress (CMS) in adulthood. Bars represent the gray value (mean ± SEM) of c-fos mRNA expression in the CA1 (A,E), CA3 (B,F), DG (C,G), and ventral subiculum (D,H). *Indicates a significant interaction between prenatal treatment and CMS exposure, where the control non-CMS group is different from control CMS and PAE CMS groups; ^#indicates that control CMS and PAE non-CMS are different from control non-CMS based on a priori comparisons (n = 3–5 for all groups).
