Top, Within the pre-LC, FoxP2 (FoxP2+ total), and c-Fos (c-Fos+ total) immunopositive neurons were quantified in both sodium replete (n = 4) and sodium deplete (n = 4) rats. Individual data along with the mean SEM is presented for each expression profile observed. Bottom, Within the PBel-inner, FoxP2 (FoxP2+ total), and c-Fos (c-Fos+ total) immunopositive neurons were quantified in both Sodium Replete (n = 4) and sodium deplete (n = 4) rats. Individual data along with the mean SEM is presented for each expression profile observed.
