Figure 2

Bilateral injection cannulae placements for Experiment 3. The four panels were adapted from a stereotaxic atlas of the rat brain (Paxinos and Watson, 1998). The dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) was defined based on Fontes et al. (2011). Open and closed circles represent cannulae placements considered inside the DMH for sham-adrenalectomized (ADX)/vehicle-treated rats and sham-ADX/corticosterone (CORT)-treated rats, respectively. Abbreviations: 3V, 3rd ventricle; ADX, adrenalectomized; CORT, corticosterone; DA, dorsal hypothalamic area; DMC, dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus, compact part; DMD, dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus, dorsal part; DMV, dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus, ventral part; f, fornix; mt, mammillothalamic tract; PH, posterior hypothalamic area; VMH, ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus. Scale bar, 1 mm.
