Central CRFR2 manipulations affected local OT release within the NAc shell of male prairie voles
Local release of OT within the NAc shell of male prairie voles did not differ between the groups over time, whereas separate statistics for each group revealed that a single acute central infusion of CRFR2 antagonist (astressin-2B) and of CRFR2 agonist (stresscopin) increased and decreased, respectively, intra-NAc shell OT release.
Numbers of animals included in the statistics were n = 6 per group. Data are expressed as percentage of baseline (mean of sample 1 & 2: equal 100%; dotted line) + sem. * p ≤ 0.05 vs sample 2 of same group.
