indicates significant main effect of group in the basal and post OIL/EB injection periods in the DLS prior to cocaine treatment in; post hoc tests indicate a significant difference between OIL and EB females in 2 of the 3 time points (p < 0.05).
indicates a significant main effect of sex in the baseline DA levels in the DLS and the NAc, with post hoc tests indicating a significant difference between males and females in the oil groups in all 3 time points (p < 0.05).
