The number (Score) of licking (A) or freezing behavior (B) was counted for each 5 min period (0–5, 5–10 or 10–15 min) after vehicle or RTx treatment in each rat. Each data represents the median value and interquartile range (in parentheses) obtained from 5–6 rats.
P<0.05,
P<0.01: compared to the vehicle group.
P<0.05,
P<0.01: compared to the RTx 3μM group in normal rats.
P<0.05: compared to the RTx 3μM group in PNT rats.
P<0.05,
P<0.01: compared to the vehicle group in PNT rats. (Wilcoxon rank sum test)
