Fig. 1. Testing effects of intra-BLA infusion of glutamate drugs on stress-induced anxiety-like behavior.
(A) Schematic of experimental design to test for the effects of intra basolateral amygdala (BLA) infusion of the GluN1 antagonist AP5 or the GluK1 agonist ATPA on behavior in the light/dark exploration test (LDE) following chronic restraint stress. (B) Coronal sections indicating site of cannula placements in BLA. (C) Epifluorescent image of a fluorophore infused into BLA estimating location and spread of infused drugs.
