Table 1.
Total exploration time of the objects (s ± SEM) during the sample and test phases of the object-in-place (OIP), visual, tactile and crossmodal recognition memory tests. The total time for the sample phase is presented, whereas the time for the first minute is presented for the test phase. No significant differences in exploration were present, except for the increased exploration caused by polyI:C treatment during the sample phase of the crossmodal recognition test.
