VTA dopaminergic input to aRSC is required for object recognition memory consolidation. (A) Saline (Vehicle, Veh, white bar) or GABAA agonist (Muscimol, Musc, gray bar) infusions were made into VTA immediately after the training session; animals were tested 24 h after the training. (B) simultaneously, saline (Vehicle, Veh, white bar) or GABAA agonist (Muscimol, Musc, gray bar) was infused into VTA and 10% DMSO (Vehicle, Veh) or D1/D5 agonist (SKF38393, SKF) was infused into aRSC immediately after the training. Test session was performed 24 h after training. Data are expressed as mean discrimination index ± SEM. (A) ***p < 0.001, Veh vs. Musc, two-tailed Student's t-test. (B) ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, Tukey's multiple comparison test after two-way ANOVA (only biologically relevant comparisons are shown). (A,B) ###p < 0.001, ##p < 0.01, Group vs. 0, two-tailed Student's t-test. (A) n = 9–12, (B) n = 10–11.
