Table 3.

Pearson correlations across brain regions on ethanol-induced c-Fos expression. Two ethanol challenge doses, e.g., 2 and 4 g/kg are shown. Both water controls and adolescent intermittent ethanol (AIE, 5 g/kg, i.g.) groups known anatomical connections were assessed and the F and p values determined. Only correlations of p < 0.05 or p < 0.01 between brain region are shown. There were no correlations to be shown as “–” in the table
