Neuronal hyperactivity in Pten conditional heterozygous mice is corrected in Pten and Mtor double conditional heterozygous mice. (A) Schema showing the procedure of social exposure. (B) Representative images of c-fos staining in the prelimbic cortex (PrL) and basolateral amygdala (BLA) of socially exposed mice. Scale bar: 100 μm. (C and D) Quantification of c-fos+ neurons in the PrL(C) and BLA (D) of socially exposed mice. One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc tests were used. *P < 0.05. n.s. indicates no significant difference. N = 7 animals per genotype. F(3, 24) = 8.25, P = 0.0006 (C); F(3, 24) = 7.462, P = 0.0011 (D).
