More precisely, unpaired one-sided t -tests show a significant effect of the treatment in the NST ( t (10) = 2.252; p = 0.0240), PBN ( t (9) = 3.992; p = 0.0016), VPMPC ( t (9) = 3.153; p = 0.0058), CeA ( t (10) = 2.380; p = 0.0193), PSTN/CbN ( t (9) = 3.037; p = 0.0070), and VTA ( t (10) = 2.309; p = 0.0218), but the differences did not reach statistical significance either at the cortical level (AI ( t (10) = 0.3142; p = 0.3799), GI/DI ( t (10) = 0.05505; p = 0.4786), mPFC ( t (10) = 0.8558; p = 0.2061) and HIPP ( t (9) = 0.3831; p = 0.3553)) or in the non-gustatory-related thalamus VPM( t (9) = 1.377; p = 0.1009), BLA ( t (10) = 0.2419; p = 0.4069), Acb ( t (10) = 0.06695; p = 0.4740), Hbn ( t (10) = 0.4021; p = 0.3480) or Arc ( t (9) = 1.052; p = 0.1602) ( Figure 1 A,B and Figure 2 ). 3.2.
