  • In experiment 1, the two-way ANOVA examined the interaction between home-cage housing (enriched vs standard vs impoverished) and social defeat exposure (SD exposure vs home-cage housing) on FosB/ΔFosB expression in the listed areas. The two-way ANOVA for experiment 2 examined the interaction between IL infusion (ibotenic acid vs vehicle) and housing treatment (ILinf→EE, ILinf→EE→SD, and EE→ILinf→SD) on FosB/ΔFosB expression in the listed areas. The two-way ANOVA for experiment 3 examined the interaction between IL infusion (ibotenic acid vs vehicle) and housing treatment (ILinf→SE, ILinf→SE→SD, and SE→ILinf→SD) on FosB/ΔFosB expression in the listed areas. In experiment 4, the two-way ANOVA examined the interaction between CG/PL infusions (ibotenic acid vs vehicle) and infusion timing (before vs after EE) on FosB/ΔFosB expression in the listed areas. Only statistically significant effects and interactions are included. Nonsignificant analyses have been left blank.
