Figure 9. Analysis of deltaFosB expression in rat striatum and its modulation by chronic cocaine.

Figure 9.

Adult male rats were treated daily with cocaine (10 mg/kg; i.p.) or vehicle (saline) for 8 days. Striatal coronal sections were used to visualize and estimate the number of cells expressing ΔFosB. Representative images from saline and cocaine treated rats are shown (A). The graph (B) represents the quantification of ΔFosB expression (mean±SEM). Data are presented as percentage of positive cells per total DAPI-labeled nuclei, obtained from male rats (N=6 rats per condition). Scale bars: 50 µm
