Number of c-Fos immunoreactive (-ir) cells after stroking stimuli. (A–H) Numbers of c-Fos-ir cells in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) (A), dorsolateral orbital cortex (DLO) (B), secondary somatosensory cortex (S2) (C), granular insular cortex (GI) (D), septhohypothalamic nucleus (SHy) (E), medial preoptic area (MPA)-anterior hypothalamic area (AHA)-lateroanterior hypothalamic area (LA) (F), medial amygdaloid nucleus anteroventral part (MeAV) (G), and medial amygdaloid nucleus anterodorsal part (MeAD) (H). There was a significant effect of group (N3-10 vs. S3-10) in the S1, DLO, S2, GI, MPA-AHA-LA, MeAV, and MeAD. A significant effect of stimuli (non-touch vs. stroking) was also found in the DLO, S2, GI, and MeAD. There was significant interaction in the SHy. †, P < 0.01, *, P < 0.05. Two-way factorial ANOVA (group × stimuli) followed by post-hoc Holm’s test was used (see Supplementary Tables 1–3 for details).
