Optimum encoding conditions for the formation of short- or long-term place memory in the DMP watermaze protocol (Experiment 4, n = 16). (A) There were three placement or three swim encoding trials separated by 10-min ITI (T11–3). During each placement trial, the rats were placed on the platform for 30 sec without swimming to it. (B) Retention (T2) measured short-term and long-term memory (30 min and 24 h) after encoding as percentage of time spent searching the correct zone. Stippled horizontal line indicates chance level. Means± 1 SEM.
