From: Traumatic stress reactivity promotes excessive alcohol drinking and alters the balance of prefrontal cortex-amygdala activity

Figure 4

Relationship between alterations in individual levels of alcohol drinking (19 days post conditioning) and odor-paired-context-induced ERK phosphorylation in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) and basolateral amygdala (BLA). Elevations in drinking after odor exposure significantly correlated with context-induced reductions in ERK phosphorylation (pERK) levels in both the dmPFC (a, r2=0.25, P<0.05) and BLA (b, r2=0.24, P<0.05) of Avoiders, but not of Non-Avoiders or Controls.
