Effects of orexin A and carbachol. A, B, The 0.1 nmol dose of orexin A tended to improve performance at longer delays for both control (A) and mPF lesioned (B) rats. The overall effect of orexin A was not statistically significant; however, there was a significant interaction between dose and RI. Analyses of simple main effects revealed a significant effect of orexin at RI of 13 s. The effects of orexin A did not interact with the effects of the prefrontal lesion (F < 1). C, D, Carbachol produced dose-dependent impairment significant at the highest dose tested. The effects of carbachol did not interact with the effects of the mPF lesion or the length of the RI (values of F < 1).
