Fig. 4: CeA hSyn and D1 ChR2 rats do not show attraction to a dummy rod.

a Diagram depicts the dummy rod situation, where an unelectrified dummy rod was similar in appearance to the shock rod, and delivered laser illuminations, but did not inflict electric shock. b hSyn ChR2 (N = 7) and D1 ChR2 (N = 12) all failed to show significant attraction to the dummy rod above eYFP control levels (N = 4), and attraction to the dummy rod was not higher on the day when it delivered laser illumination than the day when it delivered no laser. c For both hSyn ChR2 (N = 3) and D1 ChR2 (N = 6) groups, individuals that self-stimulate laser did not differ from those that failed to self-stimulate (hSyn ChR2 N = 4, D1 ChR2 N = 3) in attraction to the dummy rod when it delivered laser. Data represent means and SEM.
