Figure 4.
Effects of BLA priming with or without intra-BLA muscimol intervention on LTP induction in the CA1 (top) and the DG (bottom). In CA1, muscimol prior to BLA priming reduced the inhibitory effect of BLA priming (MUS-BLA significantly different from BLA-VEH, * p < 0.05). In the DG, muscimol prior to BLA priming had no effect but muscimol after BLA priming prevented the LTP-enhancing effect of BLA priming. In fact, it reduced LTP even compared to the control (CONT-VEH) group (* p < 0.05).
