FIGURE 3.
Interaction between serotonin transporter (SERT) deletion and cocaine self‐administration on the NMDA receptor obligatory subunit 1 GluN1 in the infralimbic (ILc) and prelimbic (PLc) cortices. Protein levels of GluN1 in the homogenate and postsynaptic density of ILc (Panel A,B) and PLc (Panel C,D) are expressed as percentages of SERT+/+‐naive rats. Below the graphs, representative immunoblots are shown for GluN1 (120 kDa) receptor in the homogenate and postsynaptic density of ILc (Panel A,B) and PLc (Panel C,D), respectively. Histograms represent the mean ± SEM of five to six rats per group. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 versus SERT+/+ naive; ## p < 0.01 versus SERT+/+ ShA; § p < 0.05, §§§ p < 0.001 versus SERT−/− naïve; £££ p < 0.001 versus SERT−/− LgA (two‐way ANOVA followed by Fisher's least significant difference [LSD] multiple comparisons test)
