Effect of long-term chronic social isolation stress in Novel Local Recognition/Novel Object Recognition (NLR/NOR) and Barnes maze tests: (a) Recognition Index (RI) for NLR (b) RI for NOR (c) latency to first visit of the escape hole across the test phase of the Barnes maze test (d) reference memory errors across the test phase of the Barnes maze test (e) working memory errors across the test phase of the Barnes maze test (f) search strategies used for female and (g) male degus during the test phase of Barnes maze test: S: serial strategy; E: spatial strategy; R: random strategy. Control (CTL), Partial Isolation (PI), Chronic Isolation (CI), and Re-socialization (CI-R) treatment groups. Data were analysed statistically using two-way ANOVA followed by Fisher’s LSD post hoc test. The statistical effect of stress treatment, sex, and the interaction between the two factors are indicated in the top of the figure. Each symbol corresponds to data from a single-sex stress treatment group, represented as the mean ± SEM (n = 13).
