Managing director Paul Warwick said: "Our industry is operating in a mature environment, against a backdrop of a declining oil price and ever-increasing operating costs alongside falling production levels, reduction in exploration and asset integrity and maintenance issues.

Talisman Sinopec managing director Paul Warwick said: "Our industry is operating in a mature environment, against a backdrop of a declining oil price and ever-increasing operating costs alongside falling production levels, reduction in exploration and asset integrity and maintenance issues.

During the black/white alley test, as the trial proceeded and as the rat habituated to the novel environment, the increased familiarity of the spatial cues led to a reduction in exploration.

Repeated exposure to a novel apparatus is expected to produce a reduction in exploration as the animal becomes familiar with the environment, a process commonly referred to as habituation (Leussis and Bolivar, 2006).

Stress during the last days of pregnancy can also result in alterations to behaviours linked to risk-taking, such as higher fearfulness (Henriksen et al., 2011) and reduction in exploration levels (Champagne and Meaney, 2006) in rats (Rattus norvegicus).

The second goal was to test the prediction that rats with perirhinal lesions are unusually sensitive to interference effects from objects in preceding trials, leading to a progressive failure of recognition and an enhanced reduction in exploration as test stimuli appear increasingly familiar (Cowell et al., 2010; McTighe et al., 2010; Romberg et al., 2012).

Even so, in Experiment 5, when rats only explored novel objects, there was no evidence of a reduction in object exploration by rats with perirhinal lesions.

At the dose of 1 μg, IGF-I attenuated IL-1β-induced immobility and the reduction in social exploration but had no effect on loss of body weight.

This effective reduction in the exploration of familiar objects after perirhinal cortex lesions points to the sparing of some recognition mechanisms.

When all recognition memory data were combined (Experiments 1 4), giving totals of 44 perirhinal lesion rats and 40 surgical sham controls, the perirhinal cortex lesions caused a marginal reduction in total exploration time.

ANOVAs of the time spent exploring both objects did not reveal any differences between groups during the sample phase (F 2,18)=1.42; p=0.26) but showed a reduction in total exploration during the choice phase (F 2,18)=4.86, p<0.03) with injection of SKF81297 into the mPFC (Table 1).
