Learning and memory in Morris water maze test in rats after ECS (or MECS) treatment.
Notes: Evasive latency (A); division of different quarters in the test (B); time percentage in the platform quarter of each group (C); time percentage in each quarter in group C (D); time percentage in each quarter in group D (E); time percentage in each quarter in group P (F); time percentage in each quarter in group E (G); time percentage in each quarter in group M (H). Data are presented as the mean ± standard error; **P<0.01, ***P<0.001 versus group C or quarter NW; #P<0.05, ##P<0.01, and ###P<0.001 versus group D or quarter NE; P<0.05, P<0.01, and P<0.001 versus group P or quarter SW; ΔΔP<0.01, ΔΔΔP<0.001 versus group E. C represents control rats; D represents CUMS-pretreated rats that received sham ECS with normal saline pretreatment; P represents CUMS-pretreated rats that received sham ECS with propofol pretreatment; E represents CUMS-pretreated rats that received ECS with normal saline pretreatment; M represents CUMS-pretreated rats that received ECS with propofol pretreatment. • Represents platform; n=10 in each group.
Abbreviations: CUMS, chronic unpredictable mild stresses; ECS, electroconvulsive shock; MECS, modified ECS; NE, northeastern quarter; NW, northwestern quarter; SE, southeastern quarter; SW, southwestern quarter (ie, the platform quarter).
