Figure 1. Effects of chronic variable stress and treatments on spatial reference memory acquisition. Data are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. These values represent the median latency (s) in finding the platform from four trials during five days of training. No significant differences were observed between groups (One-way ANOVA with the post-hoc Newman–Keuls test, p > 0.05), n = 7–6 animals/group.

Figure 2. Effects of chronic variable stress and treatments on reference memory retention: (A) latency in finding the platform and (B) mean % time spent in the target quadrant (T.Q.). Data are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. *Significantly different from Ct, Cs, and Cs/La groups (One-way ANOVA with the post-hoc Newman–Keuls test, p < 0.05), n = 7–6 animals/group.

Figure 3. Effects of chronic variable stress and treatments on spatial working memory. Data are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. These values represent mean latencies in finding the platform in each trial during four testing days. Statistical difference between the Cs/Cr group and other groups in the second (*p < 0.05) and third trials (**p < 0.001) (repeated-measures ANOVA with the post-hoc Newman–Keuls test), n = 7–6 animals/group.
