Mean (±SEM) central square entries in the open field (top) and open arm time (bottom) of ovariectomized vehicle- (gray) or E2-primed (black) rats infused with β-cyclodextrin vehicle (striped bars) or 3α,5α-THP (solid bars) to the VTA. * indicates 3α,5α-THP -infused rats entered significantly more central squares (F1,44=14.09, P<0.05) and spent more time on open arms (F1,44=11.35, P<0.05) than did vehicle-vehicle controls. # indicates tendency for E2-primed rats to spend more time on open arms compared to vehicle-primed rats (F1,44=1.96, P<0.10).
