Effect of stressors on locomotor activity during the familiarization trial (Trial 1). Stressors enhance exploratory and suppress resting-state activities of rats during the familiarization trial of the odor recognition task while leaving investigation of odor unaltered. (A) The graph shows that neither stressor has any effect on total time of odor investigation during the familiarization trial when compared to the non stressed condition. (B) The graph shows the number of rearing events per second, suggesting that stressors (both light and sound) enhance the rate of non-odor based rearing events. (C) The graph shows that stressors (both light and sound) suppress percentage of time spent grooming. (D) The graph shows that sound but not light increases the rate of transitioning between quadrants of the testing chamber compared to the non-stressed condition. ^*indicates significant pairwise comparisons.
