Figure 3

Photomicrographs showing Fos-like immunoreactivity in rat spinal cord. Photomicrographs were taken from 40- μm thick sections and illustrate the expression of Fos-like immunoreactivity in laminae I-II (a), V (b), and X (c) of the spinal cord gray matter (L2/L3 level), 2 h after the plantar incision of the right hind paw. of non-catheterized anesthetized rats (A), non-incised and catheterized rats treated. intrathecally with saline (AS), and incised and catheterized rats treated intrathecally with saline (ASI), atropine (ATR = 30 μg/5 μl), phenoxybenzamine (PBZ = 20 μg/5. μl), methysergide (MET = 30 μg/5 μl), LY 278,584 (LY = 100 μg/5 μl), ketanserin. (KET = 30 μg/5 μl), or methiothepin (MEP = 1.5 μg/5 μl).
