Figure 2. Fos immunoreactivity following swim stress and acute cocaine administration.

Figure 2

Example photomicrographs demonstrating that wildtype mice exhibit an increase in Fos protein expression within the vBNST (b,d) and IL (g,i) following forced swim stress or acute cocaine administration. CREBαΔ mutant mice do not show stress-induced increases in Fos protein expression within the vBNST (c), while expression within the IL remains intact (h). No differences are seen in the response to acute cocaine in CREBαΔ mutant mice (e,j).
