The expression of CRH mRNA in the hypothalamus of behavior-lateralized mice after predatory exposure (8 mice in each group). a Influence of predator exposure on the expression of CRH mRNA in the hypothalamus. Chronic predator stress could significantly increase CRH expression. The normal control group (without considering behavioral lateralization) was used as the calibrator for normalization (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001). b The expression of CRH mRNA in the hypothalamus of behavior-lateralized mice with predatory stress. Both in the left-pawed and right-pawed mice, CRH mRNA expression was greatly elevated after chronic stress, showing higher levels than those in the control and acute stress mice. The normal control group (without considering behavioral lateralization) was used as the calibrator for normalization (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001)
