Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of ondansetron on locomotor activity in the open field apparatus in SPS rats. Total square crossing was measured as the locomotor index. Two cohorts of animals were tested 24 hr after the last extinction test. The contextual cohort groups had previously passed the contextual extinction tests and consisted of SPS, ondansetron, and ondansetron plus SR 57227A (5HT3 agonist) groups (a). The cued cohort groups had the same corresponding groups and had experienced the cued extinction sessions (b). Data are displayed as Mean±SEM
