Arc protein expression in amygdala nuclei (m) and thalamic nuclei (n and o) after MFB-ICSS treatment. Representative immunohistochemistry images of Arc protein expression in the lateral amydala (LA), dorsolateral (DL) and central medial (CM) thalamic nuclei from the Sham (a and b, e and f, i and j) and MFB-ICSS (c and d, g and h, k and l) groups. (scale bar 100 µm in a, c, e, g, i and k, and 25 µm in b, d, f, h, j, and l; stereotaxic coordinates between − 2,50 and – 3.36 AP to Bregma). Arrows indicate Arc immunoreactive cell bodies. (CeA, central amygdala; ec, external capsule; DG, dentate girus; PV, paraventricular thalamic nuclei; IMD, intermediodorsal thalamic nucleus). Bar charts show the mean Arc expression levels in the LA and CeA (m) and in the DL and mediodorsal (MD) thalamic nuclei (n) from ipsi and contra lateral hemispheres of sham and MFB-ICSS treated groups. o mean Arc expression levels in CM and PV thalamic nuclei of sham and MFB-ICSS groups. Standard errors are indicated with error bars
