EMP irradiation induces delirium-like neuropsychiatric disorder in rats. A Representative images of movement tracks in open field test (OFT) for sham and EMP irradiated rats. B–E Total distance (B), percentage of distance in the center (C), Grooming time (D) and average velocity in OFT (E). ^*p < 0.05, ^**p < 0.01 (n = 6 rats in each group, unpaired t-test). F Trace plot of the novel object exploration test (NET) for sham and EMP irradiated rats. G–J Lantency (G), time to explore the novel object (H), total distance (I) and average velocity in NET (J). ^*p < 0.05, ^***p < 0.001 (n = 6 rats in each group, unpaired t-test). K The Trace images of the light/dark box test (LDT) for sham and EMP irradiated rats. L, M Duration (L) and entries (M) in the light box. ^*p < 0.05 (n = 6 rats in each group, unpaired t-test). N Representative motion traces from the Y maze test (YMT) for sham and EMP irradiated rats. O, P Duration (O) and entries (P) in novel arm. ^*p < 0.05 (n = 6 rats in each group, unpaired t-test). Q Trace plot of the novel object recognition test (NOR) for sham and EMP irradiated rats. R, S Recognition index (R) and time to explore the novel object (S). ^*p < 0.05, ^***p < 0.001 (n = 6 rats in each group, unpaired t-test)
