Detection - speed of performance (Log10 ms), Identification - speed of performance (Log10 ms), One-Card learning - accuracy of performance, One Back memory - speed of performance (Log10 ms), Groton Maze learning test - total numbers of errors, ms - milliseconds

aN=23 in esketamine groups for 40 minutes and 2 hours testing periods, N=24 for 4 and 6 hours testing periods

bp values (2-sided with level of significance of 5%) are based on the mixed-effect model with baseline score as a covariate, and treatment, period, gender and sequence as fixed effects, and subject within sequence as a random effect

cFor these timed tests, higher scores reflect poorer performance

dAll times listed (40 minutes, 2, 4, and 6 hours) reflect the times following dosing at which the testing was performed
