Mean ± SE FOS-positive cells in the PVN (A) in pre-adolescent (gray bars) and adult (black bars) rats exposed to control conditions (Control), fear conditioning training alone (Training) or 1 h restraint stress followed by training (Stress + Training). There was increased FOS in the Stress + Training group in both age groups (p < 0.05). Across all conditions, pre-adolescents had greater numbers of FOS-positive cells than adults (p < 0.05). Representative photomicrographs of FOS-positive cells in the PVN of pre-adolescents and adults exposed to control conditions (B and E), training alone (C and F), or restraint stress followed by training (D and G). Scale bar=100 mm. conditioning (n = 6) or unstressed rats (n = 6).
