Fig 3

Antipsychotic effects on the performance of a spontaneous novel object recognition task conducted (in separate groups of animals) during (A) days 8-14 or (B) days 31-38 of treatment. The illustrations at the left of each figure indicate the preference for the novel object compared with the familiar object (*= p<0.05) at each of the 3 delays. The insets at right of each figure illustrate drug effects on the “Recognition Index” which refers to the proportion of the total exploration time the animal spent investigating the novel object (see Methods); + = significantly different (p<0.05) from vehicle control performance. Data are expressed as the mean ± S.E.M. N=6 for each group in (A) and N=18-30 animals per group (B).
