Functional viral vector treatment + CNO is sufficient to increase c-Fos-IR in both defeated and non-defeated hamsters in the vmPFC and decrease c-Fos in non-defeated hamsters in the BLA. (A) In non-defeated hamsters, functional + CNO treatment (n = 4) lead to significantly greater c-Fos-IR compared to functional + vehicle (n = 5) and nonfunctional + CNO treatment (n = 3). In defeated hamsters, functional + CNO treatment (n = 9) display significantly greater c-Fos-IR compared to functional + vehicle (n = 7) and nonfunctional + CNO treatment (n = 10). (B) Functional + CNO treatment in non-defeated hamsters led to a significant decrease in c-Fos-IR. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. An asterisk indicates a significant difference between groups (*p < 0.05).
