Learning-specific FTL+ neurons in ventrolateral Lateral Amygdala (LAvl) following auditory fear conditioning. (A) Bright-field photograph of amygdala at bregma −1.7 mm showing FTL+ neurons in the LAvl in a Paired trained mouse. The solid box encloses the area shown in high power in B. Counted region is encompassed by dotted line. (B) High-power view of FTL+ neurons in Paired LAvl. (C) Bright-field photograph of Unpaired trained mouse at bregma −1.7 mm. The solid box encloses the area shown in high power in D. Counted region is encompassed by dotted line. (D) High-power view of Unpaired LAvl boxed in C. (E) Plate from Mouse Brain Atlas (Franklin and Paxinos 2008) highlighting the region shown in A and C. (F) FTL+ neuron counts of LAvl region in each group of trained mice, shown as mean ± SEM. Significantly more FTL+ neurons were present in Paired mouse LAvl compared with control groups. (***) P < 0.001. Scale bar, 250 µm (A,C), 100 µm (B,D).
