Within-subject between-region correlations of ERK phosphorylation upon re-exposure to the predator odor-paired context. (a) In Avoiders (left panel), but not in Non-Avoiders (right panel) or Controls (data not shown), there was a significant correlation between dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) and basolateral amygdala (BLA) ERK phosphorylation (pERK) expression. Panel b reports the strength and direction of correlations between pERK expression in ventromedial PFC (vmPFC) and central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA; top row), and also between BLA and CeA (bottom row) in Avoiders, Non-Avoiders and Controls upon re-exposure to predator odor-paired context.
