Summary of the responses: rate of ovarian estradiol secretion, activity of the SON, and MAP to pinching of a hindpaw. a, b, d, e: Rate of estradiol secretion (a, b) and MAP (d, e) for SON-intact (a, d) and severed (b, e) rats. c SON activity. Magnitudes of responses during and after stimulation are expressed as percentages of the prestimulus values (5 min before stimulation). Each point and vertical bar represents the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; significantly different from the prestimulus control values using one-way repeated-measures ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test. Inset in c, sample recordings of SON activity before and after pinching stimulation. (Modified from Uchida et al. [28])
