Data are reported as the means ± SEM. (A). Number of active avoidance responses in good and poor performers across training sessions. (B). Percentage of time spent in freezing behavior along sessions. (C). Quantification of dopamine (ng/mg of tissue) in the right, left and both hemispheres considering control, poor and good performers. (D). Quantification of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid - DOPAC (ng/mg of tissue) in the right, left and both hemispheres considering control, poor and good performers. (E). Quantification of homovanillic acid - HVA (ng/mg of tissue) in the right, left and both hemispheres considering control, poor and good performers. (F). Quantification of dopamine turnover of DOPAC and HVA in the right, left and both hemispheres considering control, poor and good performers. Poor: poor performers, Good: good performers, Control: control group. DOPAC/DA: turnover rate for DOPAC; HVA/DA: turnover rate for HVA, right: right hemisphere, left: left hemisphere, total: right and left hemisphere. For the behavioral data: control (N = 5), good (N = 13) and poor (N = 15). For the HPLC data: control (N = 5), good (N = 8) and poor (N = 10) and **: p < 0.01 in comparison with poor performers, ***: p < 0.001 in comparison with poor performers, #: p < 0.05 in comparison with good and poor performers, ##: p < 0.01 in comparison with good and poor performers; ###: p < 0.001 in comparison with good and poor performers.
