Figure 2. Behavioral effects of OXT injections wash out within one day.

Figure 2

Values are mean + s.e.m. of raw lick rates for water broken down by successive test sessions for saline or OXT injections in Experiment 1. The lick rate for water was similar in all three of the sessions that mice were injected with saline (34 ± 2, 35± 3, 35± 4). This is in spite of the fact that most saline-injected sessions occurred one day after an OXT injection session. All mice also showed similarly depressed lick rates for water in all three session where OXT was injected (19± 3; 18± 4; 18± 5). That is, the licking behavior of mice related to the injection condition (saline vs. OXT) on the day of the test and there was no carry-over of an earlier day's OXT injection.
