From: Brain activation induced by chronic psychosocial stress in mice
Chronic social defeat induces changes in brain activation as measured by expression of ∆FOSB. (a) The mean number of cells staining positive for ∆FOSB in defeated and control mice. Error bars ± 1 SEM, *p < 0.05, see Table 1 for exact statistical values. (b) Representative images of immunohistochemical staining for ∆FOSB, positive cells indicated by black arrows, in the infralimbic cortex (IL), bed nucleus of stria terminals (BNST), lateral hypothalamus (LH) and ventral hippocampus (vHP). Scale bar = 100 µm. See Supplementary Fig. S2 for representative images from each of the brain regions analysed.
