(A) Mean(+ S.E.M.) time spent in exploration during a 3 m juvenile social encounter. Prior IS resulted in a significant reduction in exploration compared to a HC control treatment, *p < 0.05. The effect of IS was completely blocked by intra-DRN injection of the 5-HT1A agonist 8-OH-DPAT 45 m before the encounter. (B) Graphic reconstruction of microinjector tip placements within the DRN. Illustrations were adapted from the atlas of Paxinos and Watson (51) and are listed in relationship to bregma in mm.
