Table 2. Post-restraint cFos-positive immunolabeling in stress- and reward-regulatory brain regions.

The impact of prior sucrose (vs. water) on the density of post-restraint cFos-positive cells (number of cells/mm2) in multiple stress- and reward-regulatory brain regions of female rats tested during diestrus (D1/D2) and proestrus/estrus (P/E). n = 7–15/group.
