Expression of the hM3Dq receptors in PBN neurons and activation of neurons with CNO. (A) Coronal section showing the injection sites of AAV-hSyn-hM3Dq-EGFP or AAV-hSyn-EGFP in the PBN. (B) Outline of hM3Dq-EGFP in PBN nucleus. (C) Expressions of hM3Dq receptors in PBN from each case are outlined in the propofol group (n = 8) and the isoflurane group (n = 8). (D) c-Fos expression in PBN neurons after hM3Dq rats received CNO or saline i.p. injection. Three rats for each group (2–4 sections per rat). Bar = 100 μm. (E) Mean number of c-Fos positive cells in PBN nucleus. Data are described as mean ± SEM. c-Fos expression in PBN neurons with CNO pretreatment was significantly higher than in the saline pretreatment group (p < 0.0001, unpaired t-test). LPB, lateral parabrachial nucleus; SCP, superior cerebellar peduncle; MPB, medial parabrachial nucleus.
