(A) Photomicrographs of coronal brain sections from representative rats showing bilateral sites of microinjection into the lateral hypothalamus (LH) (left) and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) (right). (B, C) Diagrammatic representations based on the rat brain atlas of Paxinos and Watson58 indicating the microinjection sites into the lateral hypothalamus (B) and BNST (C) of all animals used for evaluation of the involvement of GABAA receptor within the LH in cardiovascular changes evoked by microinjection of the selective CB1 receptor antagonist AM251 into the BNST. White circles: saline LH + DMSO BNST group; black circles: saline LH + AM251 BNST group; white squares: SR95531 LH + DMSO BNST group; black squares: SR95531 LH + AM251 BNST group. 3V third ventricle, ac anterior commissure, cc corpus callosum, f fornix, IA interaural coordinate, ic internal capsule, LV lateral ventricle, opt optic chiasm, st stria terminalis.
