Entries without “M” and/or “F” indicate analyses was based on males and females pooled together in a single analyses because there was no significant interaction between dose and sex.
Inspection of data indicates significant overlap of learning curve with controls
Increase (↑) means improvement in learning compared to controls. Decrease (↓) means deficit or delay in learning compared to controls
If statistical analyses or measures were described in methods, it was included and listed as “0” if not reported to be statistically significant
