Fig. 2. Females exhibited higher %RC relative to males at baseline in the RPT.
The number of rats within each %RC category revealed that females were more risk-prone and less risk-averse than males (A). Overall, females exhibited higher %RC than males (B). Mean choice (C) and reward (D) latencies did not differ by sex. Females completed less trials than males (E). In-terms of decision-making metrics, %safe-stay trials were lower in females (F), while %risk-lose stay trials (G) and % risky-win stay trials (H) were higher in females. Data presented as individual data-points, plus mean ± S.E.M., * = p < 0.05 as indicated.
