  • Absolute exploration time during the final test phase. Total exploration times during the final test phase for the RP-, IC, TC, and RP+ conditions. Values are expressed in seconds (mean ± SEM). Paired Student's t test, comparing individual object exploration time between saline- and SCH-injected animals for the test phase; significance level is indicated as p. Paired Student's t test, comparing total exploration time between saline- and SCH-injected animals for the test phase (e.g., SCH 23389 B + C mean vs saline B + C mean). Significance level is indicated as ptotal.
