Novel object localization (NOL) testing of blast-exposed rats treated with TLT. Sham and blast-exposed rats were treated with sham TLT (sham and blast; n = 12 sham, n = 13 blast) or active TLT (blast + TLT; n = 14). Rats were tested in NOL at the end of treatment. (A) Time spent exploring the objects (Ob1 and Ob2) during the training session. (B) Exploration of the previously presented familiar object (FO) compared to the novel object (NO) when presented 1 h later (short-term memory; STM). (C) Discrimination index (DI) calculated during the STM testing (one-way ANOVA; F2, 36 = 18.12, p < 0.001). Data are reported ± standard error of the mean. Asterisks indicate values significantly different (***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001. unpaired t-tests in panel B, Fisher's LSD in panel C). ANOVA, analysis of variance; LSD, least significant difference; TLT, transcranial laser therapy.
