a Schematic of microinjection into the PSTN of the C57BL/6J mouse. b Schematic illustration of fear-induced suppression of feeding. c Cumulative number of small food pellets ingested by mice during the feeding test (Saline, n = 4; CNO, n = 4). The number of pellets was measured before and after each tone period. d The pellet intake during the 1st tone period (Saline, n = 6; CNO, n = 6). e Total food intake during the feeding test session. Each circle represents results from one mouse (Saline, n = 5; CNO, n = 6). Data are represented as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 (unpaired two-sided t-test (d, e)). See also Supplementary Fig. 5.
