Lack of effect of novel wheel exposure on Fos immunoreactivity in selected brain regions.
| Brain region | No wheel | Locked wheel | Free wheel | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SCN | 177.3 ± 45.5 | 218.7 ± 49.0 | 127.7 ± 28.3 | 0.420 |
| IGL | 12.0 ± 2.1 | 13.5 ± 3.3 | 13.0 ± 1.7 | 0.220 |
| ARC | 39.3 ± 6.6 | 58.9 ±11.9 | 76.1 ± 11.9 | 0.201 |
| VMH | 28.5 ± 5.8 | 34.8 ± 7.6 | 56.7 ± 10.8 | 0.093 |
Values represent the mean ± S.E.M. of the average number of Fos-ir cells per section per region; N=3–4 animals/group and 7–9 sections/region/animal.
