Multiple context discrimination in adult rats: sex variability and dynamics of time-dependent generalization of an aversive memory

Graphic summary of the behavioral response of females and males to each context in both experiments (recent memory only). All subjects were equally trained in Context A (3 min habituation plus two 0.5 mA/2 sec footshocks within 30 sec intervals) and, 2 days later, tested either in A, P1, P2, P3, or P1′ or in A, B, C, or D (Main Experiment). (> or <) Statistically significant difference; (ns) nonsignificant difference.
