Figure 4 – PVN AVP-expressing cell ablations in males increases anxiety-like behavior.

Figure 4 –

Boxplot indicating individual data points, median, first and third quartiles for time spent in the open arms within the EPM, number of stretch attend postures, and number of head dips. (a) males with PVN AVP-expressing cell ablations increased time spent in open arms (p = 0.03) whereas females with PVN AVP-expressing cell removal did not differ from controls (b). Similarly, lesioned males (c), but not females (d), produced more stretch attend postures than controls (p = 0.002). Cell ablated males (e), but not females (f), trended toward increasing head dips (p = 0.08) compared to controls.
