Figure 2. (A) Mean (±SEM) percentage of time to find the target quadrant for male and female rats 1 h after the last learning trial. *ISS/Males significantly differ (p < 0.05) from the CC/Males and ISS/Females groups. (B) Mean (±SEM) average swim speed (cm/s) for male and female rats 1 h after the last learning trial.
