Figure 7From: Chronic self-administration of alcohol results in elevated ΔFosB: comparison of hybrid mice with distinct drinking patternsΔFosB levels are not driven by ethanol consumption alone. Hierarchical clustering was performed and the resulting heat map of individual ΔFosB levels and the corresponding 9% ethanol consumption are shown. Green = ΔFosB less than mean, Black = closest to mean, Red = ΔFosB higher than mean. Yellow boxes highlight clusters consisting of mice from control groups, multiple concentration groups, or a mixture.
