N1 - Mice were trained to avoid footshock in a T-maze, with retention tested one week later. Adult male CD-1 mice made their first avoidance during acquisition after fewer trials than random cycling females and with less variability. Female mice in diestrus, when plasma levels of progesterone are low, learned to avoid footshock faster than females in estrus.
