Figure 3

Effect of incision on p-CREB expression in the BLA of amygdala. Expression p-CREB in the bilateral BLA in the sham operation (a) and (b), at 30 minutes (c) and (d), 1 hour (e) and (f) and 3 hours (g) and (h) after hind-paw incision. (i) and (k) Quantitative analysis of the OD of p-CREB in bilateral BLA after hind-paw incision. Bar, 300 m. *$P<.05$ versus the sham operation ($n=5$ for each group).
