Effects of cocaine (30 mg/kg) or amphetamine (5.0 mg/kg) on the numbers of Fos-li neurons in the thalamic paraventricular nucleus
PVA | PV | PVP | |
---|---|---|---|
Vehicle (7) | 16.4 ± 3.8 | 8.3 ± 1.9 | 10.1 ± 2.8 |
Cocaine (10) | 42.8 ± 4.0* | 28.6 ± 2.5* | 33.1 ± 6.6** |
Amphetamine (9) | 42.6 ± 6.2* | 31.6 ± 3.3* | 46.8 ± 6.2* |
Data are presented as the mean (±SEM) number of Fos-li neurons in the anterior (PVA), central (PV), or posterior (PVP) PVT. *p ≤ 0.01; **p ≤ 0.05.
