(A–G) GABAergic systems were not influenced by optogenetic dopamine dependent medial forebrain bundle (mfb) stimulation and dopamine independent mfb Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). (A) Representative picture of GABAA/GAD1 expression in the ventral tegmental area (VTA), substantia nigra (SN), and hippocampus (HPC) influenced by mfb-DBS. (B) The immunoreactive positive (IR+) cells for GABAA in right (implanted) VTA. (C) the ipsilateral/contralateral ratio of IR + cells in VTA. (D) The IR + cells for GABAA in right (implanted) SN. (E) the ipsilateral/contralateral ratio of IR + cells in SN. (F) The IR + cells for GAD1 in right (implanted) HPC. (G) the ipsilateral/contralateral ratio of IR + cells in HPC. Statistical significance is indicated as follows: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
