Performances for regular Go/NoGo task. a Overall success rate as a function of progression time for male and female rats. The success rates were calculated relative to the initial number of rats from the beginning of stage G1, whenever there was rat failed to meet the required criteria. The success rates for male and female rats were similar (Wilcoxon rank sum test, p = 0.77). b Success rates for individual stage. The success rates were calculated for each stage based on the total number of animals remaining for that stage. No significant differences were detected between male and female rats (paired t-test, p = 0.79). c Accumulating time needed for mastering each stage (mean ± SEM). No statistically significant differences were detected for stages G1–G5. The female rats need longer time from stage G6 through stage G9 (Student’s t-test, pG6 = 0.04, pG7 = 0.03, pG8 = 0.02 and pG9 = 0.006). d Time needed for mastering individual stages (mean ± SEM). No statistically significant differences were detected for stages G1–G8. The female rats needed longer time to master stage G9 than the male rats (Student’s t-test, p = 0.04)
