Figure 3. Male, but not female, rats are sensitive t0 Pavlovian Outcome Devaluation, and this sensitivity is blocked by intra-DMS Rimonabant regardless of Tracking type.
Data are represented as within-subject individual data (lines) and group data (bars; mean ± SEM). Rats received intra-DMS injections of either vehicle (left) or rimonabant (right) 10 minutes prior to probe test. A, In Male rats, we observed a significant main effect of Outcome Value and a significant Outcome Value X Treatment interaction. B, In Female rats, we did not observe any significant main effects or interactions. C, D, In ST rats, we observe a significant Outcome Value X Treatment X Sex interaction on total behavior. C, In Male ST rats we observed a significant Outcome Value X Treatment interaction. D, In ST Female rats there were no main effects or interactions. We then performed a parallel analysis in our GT/INT rats. E, F In GT/INT rats, we observe an Outcome Value X Treatment interaction, but no interaction with Sex. #p=0.067*p<0.05 **p<0.025
