Figure 6

The number of c-Fos-immuoreactive neurons in mice destructed the ACC with ibotenic acid. The mean number of c-Fos-immuoreactive neurons in response to injection of formalin in mice destructed the ACC with ibotenic acid in the rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC), the central nucleus of amygdale (CeA), the paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus (PVN), the lateral PAG (lPAG), the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG), the nucleus raphe magnus (NRM), the locus coeruleus (LC) and the lumbar spinal dorsal horn (SDH). Filled and open bars indicate the result of control mice and mice exposed to lemon oil respectively. Each value represents the mean ± S.E. *P < 0.05 compared to the control group.
