c-fos mRNA expression in the amygdala following Day 2 of the FST in response to behavioral testing initiated 1- or 14-day post-CUS (CUS-1 and CUS-14, respectively) in adult male and female control (C), pair-fed (PF), and prenatal alcohol-exposed (PAE) rats. Bars represent mean integrated density (mean ± SEM) of c-fos mRNA expression in the lateral (A,E), basal (B,F), central (C,G), and medial (D,H) nuclei of the amygdala. Free-hand delineations of the lateral (I), basal (J), central (K), medial (L) nuclei are demonstrated in representative images of dark-field photomicrographs of a nuclear emulsion-dipped section of the amygdala. aIndicates that non-CUS PAE is different from non-CUS C based on a priori comparisons (n = 5–6/prenatal treatment/CUS condition/sex).
