Aversive amygdala-dependent memory and amygdala activation. (A) Odorized water intake did not differ between groups on acquisition day. (B) Aversive memory was assessed 3 days after the acquisition trial. All groups showed an avoidance of the odorized water however, the strength of the avoidance was greater in group HF (black bar). *p < 0.01, #p = 0.09 (significant one-way ANOVA followed by Fisher’s post hoc). (C) Rats in the group HF showed increase circulating corticosterone levels 90 min after lithium chloride (LiCl) injection compared to groups C (white bar) and HF-C (striped bar). *p < 0.05 when compared to both C and HF-C groups (significant one-way ANOVA followed by Fisher’s post hoc). (D) Rats in group HF showed a higher number of c-Fos positive cells in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) 90 min after LiCl injection than groups C and HF-C. *p < 0.05 (significant one-way ANOVA followed by Fisher’s post hoc). Representative photomicrographs of c-Fos immunoreactivity in the BLA for groups C, HF and HF-C.
