Signal detection data, presented as mean ± SEM, during the 18 month acquisition and reversal task are illustrated as a function of genotype and sex. A significant Task × Response Type × Genotype × Sex interaction [F(2, 108) = 7.2, pGG ≤ 0.002, ηp2 = 0.117] was observed. Male HIV-1 Tg (C) animals displayed a profound impairment in the detection of shorter signals during 18 month acquisition task and reversal task relative to male control (A) animals. Female HIV-1 Tg animals (D) failed to exhibit a deficit in the detection of shorter signals during the 18 month acquisition task relative to female control (B) animals. However, female HIV-1 Tg animals exhibited prominent impairments in flexibility and inhibition, evidenced by an inability to reliably detect the signal at any duration assessed during the reversal task.
