  • Absolute exploration time and discrimination indexes during the retrieval practice phase for experiment 10. Total exploration times during the retrieval practice phase and DI for the RP and IC groups when animals were infused with SCH 23389 or saline in the mPFC. Values are expressed in seconds (mean ± SEM). Paired Student's t test, comparing total exploration time between saline- and SCH-injected animals for each retrieval practice session (e.g., saline A + X mean vs SCH A + X mean for RP group and saline X1 + X2 mean versus SCH X1 + X2 mean, for IC group). Significance level is indicated as ptotal. SCH 23389 injection did not affect total exploration times during the practice phase compared with saline injection.
