Results of the brain analysis. (a) Schematic view of a coronal section showing a typical placement of the cell count zone (red rectangles) within the upper portion of the arcopallium; lower portion of the arcopallium and nucleus taeniae of the amygdala (TnA). (b) Significantly higher number of c-Fos-ir neurons is present in the TnA of the experimental chicks compared to controls (n = 8 in each condition). A similar trend is also visible in the lower portion of the arcopallium. (c) Typical placement of the cell count zone within the septum with its portioning into dorsal (SD), ventrolateral (SVL) and ventromedial (SVM) subdivisions (red lines). (d) The densities of c-Fos-ir cells in any of the septal subregions were not different between the two groups. Graph-plot: mean (black square), standard error of the mean (box) and standard deviation (whisker) (*P < 0.05). Drawings were adapted from the atlas of Kuenzel & Masson (1988). Hp = hippocampus, M = mesopallium, N = nidopallium, Str = striatum, CA = anterior commissure.
