The image quality for panel A in Figure 2 and Figure 3 is poor in the published article.
Figure 2. Acute HFD activates c-Fos in specific sub-regions of the VTA.
Panel A shows a schematic diagram of VTA sub-regions in a coronal section of the mouse brain (upper left) and representative microphotographs of c-Fos (black/purple signal) immuno-staining in the VTA of control (upper right), HFD-ad lib (bottom left) and HFD-pair-fed (bottom right) groups. Scale bar: 100 μm.
Figure 3. Acute HFD activates c-Fos in specific nucleus of mesolimbic pathway.
Panel A shows a schematic diagram of the brain regions under study in a coronal section of the mouse brain (left column) and representative microphotographs of c-Fos immuno-staining of control, HFD-ad lib and HFD-pair-fed groups. Upper, middle and bottom line of images show the NAc (core and shell), the CeA and the LHA, respectively. Scale bar: 100 μm.
