Supplementary Figure 8: Intra-NAc infusions of CRF in stress-naive animals.
From: Stress and CRF gate neural activation of BDNF in the mesolimbic reward pathway
(a) Schematic and timeline of stress-naïve animals that received intra-NAc CRF infusions. (b) Social interaction times (F2,15 = 0.37, P = 0.7001, n = 6,6,6 mice/group) and (c) BDNF level quantification (F2,15 = 0.14, P = 0.8665, n = 6,6,6 mice/group) of animals that received phasic stimulation of VTA-NAc neurons infected with AAV-DIO-eYFP following intra-NAc CRF infusion or in animals that received tonic stimulation of VTA-NAc neurons infected with AAV-DIO-ChR2-eYFP compared to control. Data presented as mean ± s.e.m.
