Effects of restraint stress and sex on pPVT neuron firing patterns. A Traces of action potential firing patterns in PVT neurons that are characterized as sustained, burst, single, or reluctant firing. The percentage of PVT neurons characterized as sustained, burst, single, or reluctant firing in B non-restrained males, C 1-day restraint males, D 5-day restraint males, E non-restrained females, F 1-day restraint females, and G 5-day restraint females. Male no restraint n = 38, male 1-day restraint n = 16, male 5-day restraint n = 21, female no restraint n = 24, female 1-day restraint n = 17, female 5-day restraint n = 17
