Figure 2

Location and extent of excitotoxic lesions or placements of injector tips. An illustration outlining the boundaries of the largest (gray) and smallest (black) area lesioned in any one section are shown for both the RAIC (a) and CGIC (b) lesion groups. Histological reconstruction of the injection sites in the RAIC (c) and CGIC (d), with black dots indicating locations of injector tips from animals included in statistical analysis. The number beside each reconstructed image indicates the distance (in millimeters) from the bregma. Schematic figure was published in Paxinos and Watson, 1986.
