Table 1.
Time spent in and the number of visits to the confinement quadrant with and without NB stimulation.
| Groups | Time Spent in Quadrant | Visits to Quadrants | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Before (Day 1) | After (Day 3) | Before (Day 1) | After (Day 3) | |
| NBstm | 101 ± 36 s 18.7 ± 7.0 % |
108 ± 46 s 19.6 ± 8.8 % |
12.3 ± 5.3 # 21.2 ± 6.1 % |
11.9 ± 4.3 # 22.8 ± 4.1 % |
| Control | 95 ± 32 s 16.1 ± 5.6 % |
161 ± 125 s 27.6 ± 21.2 % |
11.9 ± 3.5 # 23.7 ± 5.0 % |
8.9 ± 3.9 # 25.4 ± 6.6 % |
Values (mean ± s.d.) are presented both in absolute units (seconds (s) for time spent and number (#) for visits) and relative units (percent (%) of time spent and of number of visits. All percent values were calculated relative to the total amount of time spent in the four quadrants of the arena and the total number of entries into the four quadrants, respectively; they were calculated for each subject and then combined to obtain group data. Percent values complement data in Figure 5D which illustrates percent differences between groups in time spent and visits, in concordance with Figures 5B and 5C that summarize relative behavior in all four maze quadrants. The effect of treatment (confinement with or without NB stimulation) for time spent and number of visits was determined by 2 × 2 repeated measures ANOVA on absolute values. There was no significant treatment effect (see text).
