Histological verification of electrolytic lesions of the bilateral VLO of rat, using coordinates on the sagittal and coronal planes in millimeters (from Bregma) according to George Paxinos and Charles Watson (2006). A Diagram of rat brain sagittal section showing the position of VLO. B Left: Diagram of rat brain sagittal sections showing the extent of the bilateral electrolytic lesions in the VLO. The VLO is highlighted in light gray. The minimum lesion extent is shown in black, and the maximum extent is shown in dark gray. Right: Photomicrographs of a coronal section from a representative rat
