Lentiviral-mediated knockdown of IKKβ in the NAc and CeA had no effect on saccharin preference or total fluid intake in the 24 h two-bottle choice test in IkkbF/F mice. A, B, The effect of IKKβ knockdown in NAc (n = 32, LV-EGFP-Cre; n = 20, LV-EGFP-Empty) is shown in A (preference for saccharin) and B (total fluid intake (g/kg/24 h). C, D, The effect of IKKβ knockdown in CeA (n = 20, LV-EGFP-Cre; n = 10, LV-EGFP-Empty) is shown in C (preference for saccharin) and D (total fluid intake (g/kg/24 h). Each point is the average of 2 d of drinking ± SEM.
