Figure 1

Two-dimensional compositive maps of positive BOLD activation in the cortical mantle of lactating and virgin rats. Four stimulus conditions are presented: dams receiving suckling stimulation from pups, artificial suckling in the absence of pups, and general mechanical rubbing of the ventrum skin in dams and virgins (n = 7 per condition). Scale bar hue (orange-to-yellow) indicates percent increase in BOLD with a lower threshold cut-off of 2%. Various cortical regions of interest are highlighted to the left of the figure.
