FIG. 3.

Pre-injury administration of glucose caused the animals to demonstrate an increased ability to remember general spatial location during short-term memory (STM) probe trials. (A) Glucose animals (n = 10) spent significantly more time in the quadrant containing the platform than any other quadrant (Q1), while the vehicle animals (n = 11) spent increased time in both Q1 and Q4 (the inset shows a schematic depiction of the quadrants; grey circle = platform location). (B) Despite a difference in quadrant preference, glucose administration did not significantly alter the number of platform crossings during the STM probe trial (data presented as mean ± standard error of the mean; *p < 0.05). (C) There was also no significant difference in swim speed during the STM probe trial.
