Sucrose seeking during reward/fear/safety sessions. Sucrose seeking during the 20 s cue period across the 4 reward/ fear/safety sessions in response to the reward (R; paired with sucrose), fear (F; paired with footshock), and safety (S; no sucrose or footshock) cues. In most cases, sucrose seeking was the highest during the reward (R) cue (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001 indicate within sex, within condition, between cue effects). In general, male and female stress groups showed decreased reward seeking compared to their control counterparts (#p < 0.05; ##p < 0.01 indicate within sex, within cue, between condition effects). In sessions 1 and 3 (A and C), female no stress rats showed increased reward seeking compared to male no stress rats ($p < 0.05 indicates within condition, within cue, between sex effects). Data are shown as mean % time spent sucrose seeking + / − SEM
