Figure 5. Patterns of covariation between brain regions within the pair-bonding network.

Figure 5

Figure 5 shows pair-wise comparisons (Pearson's correlation coefficients) of brain regions involved in pair bonding. The heatmaps are symmetrical, meaning that the upper and lower triangle in each map is showing the same data. Figure 5A shows animals unexposed to individual of the opposite sex and not given any drug treatment. Figure 5B shows mated animals given a central injection of aCSF. Figure 5C shows mated animals given a central injection of OTA. Abbreviations: MeA=medial amygdala; AON=anterior olfactory nucleus; PFC=prefrontal cortex; NAs=nucleus accumbens shell; NAc=nucleus accumbens core; PVN=paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus; BLA=basolateral amygdala.
