Figure 7From: c-Fos expression in the paternal mouse brain induced by communicative interaction with maternal matesc-Fos expression in retrieval-positive and -negative sires after stimulation with dam's USV. Representative images of c-Fos-positive cells are shown in the mPOA (A), VTA (B), NAcc (C), and VP (D) regions and the auditory cortex (E). The brains were fixed for approximately 30 min from the start of the separation experiments stimulated with replaying of dam's USVs and the retrieval test. The data are expressed as the mean ± s.e.m. (n = 6 each); ***P < 0.0001, Two-tailed, Student's t-test. N.S., not significant.Back to article page
