Figure 11. Spatial memory at different delays: Delayed environmental enrichment mitigates sevoflurane-induced short term memory deficit.

Figure 11

Sessions 8–10 of the spatial memory consolidation test introduced various delays between the rat’s initial introduction to the maze and the first of three subsequent “scored” trials. The overall change in latency from the first swim of session 8 (1-minute delay) to the first swim of session 9 (1-hour delay) is the measure of short term memory(A). Swim speeds during the first swim of each delay session (B).
