Fig. 1From: Characterization of cognitive deficits in spontaneously hypertensive rats, accompanied by brain insulin receptor dysfunctionResults of Morris Water Maze probe trial and Passive Avoidance test in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Results are shown for 3- and 7-month-old female (a, b, c) animals. Morris Water Maze (MWM) test–probe trial results: a time spent swimming within the targeted quadrant; b number of entries into the wrong quadrant (mistakes). Passive avoidance test (PAT) results: c latency time. Line in the boxes represent the median, whiskers are the 10 and 90 % percentile. Female spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) = White box; Female Wistar Kyoto control rats (WKY) = Grey box. Significant differences were based on the ANOVA Post-Hoc Scheffé; *p < 0.0001 vs. controls; **p < 0.05; T (tendency) 0.05 < p < 0.1; n = 10Back to article page
