Fig. 7: Chemogenetic activation of CeA NPY neurons does not affect locomotor activity and conditioned place preference or aversion.

A NPYCre/+ AAV hM3Dq animals displayed no significant difference in distance moved between CNO and saline test days. B NPYCre/+ AAV hM3Dq animals displayed no significant difference in movement velocity between CNO and saline days. C There was no significant difference in the percentage of time that NPYCre/+ AAV hM3Dq animals spent in the CNO- and saline-paired compartments. Data are means ± SEM. *p < 0.05.
