Mean ± S.E.M. Fos expression was not altered in the following brain regions: the lateral septum (Lat Sept), ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), dorsomedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (DMH), core and shell of the nucleus accumbens (NaCC), lateral habenula (Lat Hab), and subdivision of the medial amygdala: posterodorsal (MeApd), posteroventral (MeApv), and anterodorsal (MeAD).
