From: Modulation of quinpirole-induced compulsive-like behavior in rats by environmental changes: Implications for OCD rituals and for exploration and navigation

Figure 3

Routes of progression are shown for six quinpirole-treated rats that first underwent elastic, and then symmetrical enlargement (a), six quinpirole-treated rats that first underwent symmetrical and then elastic enlargement (b), and six saline-treated rats (c) of which three underwent the procedure shown in a) and another three underwent the procedure shown in b). Each column depicts four sessions of the same individual rat under each test condition. (Note that each rat was tested twice in each of these settings, of which only one is depicted above). It should be noted that the overall number of rats in this test was limited by the need to inject all animals twice a week in the same arena and within the same testing hours and light phase.
