Behavior of LE Cx3cr1-CreERT2+/− rats. (A) Sensory preconditioning behavioral task schematic. (B) WT and Hem rats responded similarly and at low levels to the neutral sensory cues during both days of preconditioning. (C) WT and Hem rats exhibited similar reward-learning during the six conditioning sessions, indicated by higher responding to the reward-paired cue B than to control cue D. (D) WT and Hem rats exhibited similar inference behavior during the probe test, indicated by higher responding to the cue that predicted the reward-paired cue during preconditioning (A > C responding). (E) WT and Hem rats exhibited similar reward learning and memory during the probe test, indicated by higher responding to the reward-paired cue B than to control cue D. Full statistical analysis of behavioral data is available in Table 1.
