CORRECTION
Correction for Bell et al., Disruption of Arcuate/Paraventricular Nucleus
Connections Changes Body Energy Balance and Response to Acute Stress
In the article "Disruption of Arcuate/Paraventricular Nucleus
Connections Changes Body Energy Balance and Response to Acute Stress," by M. Elizabeth Bell, Seema Bhatnagar, Susan F. Akana, SuJean Choi, and Mary F. Dallman, which appeared on pages 6707-6713 of
the September 1, 2000 issue, the autoradiograph appearing in the lesion
slot in Figure 7B is
incorrect. The correct version of the figure, as well as the legend, is
printed here.

PVN  MSH and body energy balance. A, POMC mRNA was
similar in sham (n = 10) and lesioned rats
(n = 7) at all levels of the ARC that were analyzed.
Each region (anterior, mid, posterior) is represented by the mean value
from two sections per brain. B, Representative POMC
autoradiographs of ARC in a sham and a lesioned rat in anterior ARC,
both outlined by the template used in the analysis.
C, The number of MSH-positive varicosities in the PVN was
decreased significantly in lesioned animals (n = 5) as
compared with shams (n = 7; p = 0.037).
D, Food intake (p = 0.0004) and
weight gain (E; p = 0.005) were highly correlated to
the number of MSH-immunostained varicosities in the PVN in lesioned
and sham rats. Open symbols, Sham rats; filled
symbols, lesioned rats.
