Effect of dominance on Fos levels

There was no significant effect of dominance rank on the number of Fos-immunoreactive (Fos IR) cells in any region examined, but there was a trend for an effect of dominance on Fos IR cells in the PVN (# p=0.067) (A). There was a significant positive correlation between the number of dominance trial wins and the number of Fos-positive cells in the PVN (B). Males are indicated by squares and females by circles. Between pairs, there was a trend toward a significant effect of the strength of the dominance (i.e. 3 wins versus 2 wins in the tube test) on the number of Fos IR cells in the PVN (C).
