TABLE 2.
Statistical analyses of dose-effect curves for cocaine or substitution of various compounds for cocaine compared with saline availability as shown in Fig. 2 and 4.
Comparisons were made in rates of responses on the active lever maintained during each corresponding component using a two-way repeated-measures ANOVA followed by post hoc Bonferroni t tests with results shown if effects were statistically significant.
