NMDARs in NAc are necessary for the acquisition of cued approach behavior. a Task. ITI: intertrial interval. b Microinjection schedule. VEH: vehicle. c “Yoking” procedure (sample session). Each AP5/VEH or VEH/VEH subject is identified by a letter. Bubbles indicate trials during which subjects made a cued entry (black) or not (white). Red boxes indicate trials when the receptacle was closed. d Mean ± SEM number of “Paired” (black) and “unpaired cue” trials (white) experienced on each session by the AP5/VEH or VEH/VEH group. Red bars indicate trials during which the receptacle was closed. Both groups experienced the same number of “paired” and “unpaired cue” trials daily. e Mean ± SEM S+ entry probability in the VEH/VEH (blue) and AP5/VEH (red) groups on the test (drug-free) session (whole session, left; first 5 min, right). No rewards were delivered. There were main effects of the drug, bin and drug × bin interaction (Supplementary Table 1). Box plots show median, interquartile range, and individual values. S+ entry probability was lower in previously AP5-treated subjects (***p < 0.001, t test). f Same as in e but for S+ performance index. There were main effects of drug and drug × bin interaction. During the first 5 min, animals that received AP5 injections during training exhibited lower S+ performance index (***p < 0.001; t test)
