Figure 6: Oral oxytocin (OXT) decreases c-Fos densities in the ventroposteriomedial (VPM) thalamus:

Figure 6:

In study 1, c-Fos cell densities were decreased in the VPM thalamus of postnatal day (P) 14 (circles) and P21 (triangles) Milk treated males (white shapes) and females (gray shapes) compared to saline treated subjects (A). In study 2, whisker brushing with Clinical treatment decreased c-Fos densities in the VPM thalamus in P14 and P21 males and females compared to whisker brushed and saline treated subjects. Individual data points are graphed as well as mean ± SEM. *p = < 0.05; + = main effect of age p < 0.05
