Farnesene alters the stoichiometry of α4α6β2* nAChRs in VTA DA neurons. Mean NFRET percentage (A₁, B₁,), mean NFRET pixel count (A₂, B₂), and mean pixels/neuron histograms (A₃, B₃) for saline-treated and farnesene-treated (0.1 mg/kg) VTA dopamine neurons in male (A) and female (B) mice. All data are mean ± SEM; *p < 0.05; unpaired t test. Exact p values are given in Results. Dots within bars represent the values from individual mice within the designated treatment group; n > 40 neurons per mouse per treatment group.
