Figure 8. Reversal Trials.

a) CCI/Cued Rats Swim strategy Distribution; There were no significant differences in strategy distribution across trials for CCI groups. b) Sham/Cued Rats Swim strategy Distribution; NSPT eliminated thigmotaxis in sham groups during reversal trials. In contrast to CCI groups, spatial strategy use increased (p<0.001) and non-spatial strategies tended to be decreased (p=0.071) between reversal trial days for sham no-NSPT rats. c) CCI/Non-Cued Rats Swim strategy Distribution; NSPT significantly reduced thigmotaxis among CCI rats for each trial day (R1: p<0.001; R2: p<0.001). d) Swim strategy Distribution; Reversal Trials: Sham/Non-Cued Rats. Swim strategies did not differ significantly within groups across days or across groups within days. e) CCI/NSPT Rats Swim strategy Distribution; CCI/Cued rats utilized more spatial search strategies than CCI/non-cued rats on both reversal trial days (Spatial R1: p=0.001, Spatial R2: p=0.011). f) Sham/NSPT Rats Swim strategy Distribution. Cues eliminated thigmotaxis and elicited more spatial strategy use on both testing days (Thigmotaxis R2, p=0.041; Spatial R1: p=0.011, Spatial R2: p=0.003).
