a Increased number of cFos-positive nuclei in hippocampal CA3. Left panel, representative images in cont and DG-GluN1 KO brains. Middle panel, the total number of cFos-positive nuclei was significantly increased in CA3 (t(8) = 2.665, *p = 0.02). Right panel, the number of cFos-positive nuclei over the rostral (dorsal)-caudal (ventral) axis of CA3 of the hippocampus (−1.46 to −2.92 mm from Bregma). Two-way ANOVA analyses show significant genotype, hippocampal rostral-caudal axis, and genotype × hippocampal rostral-caudal axis interaction in CA3 (genotype effect: F(6, 56) = 4.635, ***p = 0.0007; hippocampal rostral-caudal axis effect: F(1, 56) = 24.53, ****p < 0.0001; and interaction effect: F(6, 56) = 2.634, *p = 0.0254). Post hoc comparison further demonstrates significant increased cFos-positive nuclei in the caudal (ventral) CA3 (*p = 0.01 at −2.70 mm from Bregma, ****p < 0.0001 at −2.92 mm from Bregma). b Increased cFos-positive nuclei in hippocampal CA1. Left panel, representative images. Middle panel, increased total number of cFos-positive nuclei in CA1 (t(8) = 2.614, *p = 0.03). Right panel, the number of cFos-positive nuclei over the rostral-caudal axis of CA1 of the hippocampus (−1.46 to −2.92 mm from Bregma). Two-way ANOVA analyses show significant genotype, hippocampal rostral-caudal axis, and genotype × hippocampal rostral-caudal axis interaction in CA1 (genotype effect: F(6, 56) = 8.286, ****p < 0.0001; hippocampal rostral-caudal axis effect: F(1, 56) = 18.34, ****p < 0.0001; and interaction effect: F(6, 56) = 3.374, **p = 0.0066). Post hoc comparison further demonstrates significant increased cFos-positive nuclei in the caudal CA1 (***p = 0.0007 at −2.70 mm from Bregma, ***p = 0.0005 at −2.92 mm from Bregma). c Increased number of cFos-positive nuclei in basolateral amygdala (BLA, −0.70 to −2.30 mm from Bregma, t(8) = 2.709, *p = 0.02). Left panel, representative images. d The majority of cFos-positive nuclei in hippocampal pyramidal layer in CA3 subfield were located within CaMKII-positive excitatory neurons, but not within GAD-67-positive inhibitory neurons
