Data are presented as densitometric units expressed as a mean percentage of saline controls of the respective sex which were set to 100% (± SEM) (n = 4 animals per group). Bold values indicate a significant difference between cocaine treated males and females (p < .05). Bold

#

indicates cases in which a significant (p < .05) difference between saline and cocaine animals was observed prior to expressing data as a percent of saline.
