Relationship between behavioral alterations (open field and beam walking tests) and PV-positive cells in BLA. Simple regression analysis indicated that walking time in the beam walking test was significantly and negatively correlated with the % distance traveled in the center arena in the open field test (A, p < 0.001). Simple regression analysis also revealed that the number of PV-positive small cells tended to be positively correlated with the % distance traveled in the center arena in the open field test (B, p = 0.078) and significantly and negatively correlated with walking time in the beam walking test (C, p < 0.05). Open circles, EE; closed circles, SE.
