  1. Main effect of intra-animal brain regions (MePV versus MePD): F(1,14) > 8.2; p < 0.001.
  2. Main effect of inter-animals treatments: F(2,14) > 3.5; p < 0.001.
  3. Interaction: F(2,14) > 23.7; p < 0.001.
  4. *p < 0.05, post-hoc comparison between experimental treatments within a particular sub-nuclei. #, p < 0.001, post-hoc paired comparison between sub-nuclei for a particular experimental treatment.
