Diagrams illustrating the templates and relative sizes of the different brain areas in which c-fos-immunoreactive cells were counted [11]. The levels were based on Swanson’s Stereotaxic Atlas of the Brain [12]. Abbreviations list: ACA = anterior cingulate area; ARH = arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus; BLA = basolateral nucleus of the amygdala; BST = bed nucleus of the stria terminalis; CA1 = field CA1; CA2 = field CA2; CA3 = field CA3; CeA = central nucleus of the amygdala; CM = central medial nucleus of the thalamus; CoA = cortical nucleus of the amygdala; DG = dentate gyrus; DMH = dorsomedial nucleus of the hypothalamus; DR = dorsal raphe nucleus; ENT = entorhinal area; LC = locus coeruleus; LH = lateral habenula; LHA = lateral hypothalamic area; LSd = lateral septal nucleus, dorsal part; LSi = lateral septal nucleus, intermediate part; LSv = lateral septal nucleus, ventral part; MeA = medial nucleus of the amygdala; Mop = primary motor area; MPT = medial pretectal nucleus; MPO = medial preoptic area; NTS = nucleus tractus solitarius; PBl = parabrachial nucleus, lateral part; PH = posterior hypothalamus; PIR = piriform area; PVT = paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus; PVa = anterior periventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus; PVp = posterior periventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus; PVHmpd = paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, medial parvicellular part, dorsal zone; RM = nucleus raphe magna; RO = nucleus raphe obscurus; RPA = nucleus raphe pallidus. SCH = suprachiasmatic nucleus; SS = somatosensory area; SUMI = supramammillary nucleus; VISC = visceral area.
