• There is a discrepancy as to the time that the animal remains in the apparatus during the final stage of the experimental (when the animal has already been removed from the apparatus). In the Methods section, as well as in Figure 1, it is mentioned that free exploration occurs for 5 min, while in the Results section it is described as 10 min
  • Were the figures clear and logically arranged? Were the figure legends sufficiently detailed to allow the figures to be understood without reading the main text?
  • Are the figures representative of the data described in the results section?
  • The authors did not, at this stage, made all their associated data openly available; we expect that they do so during peer review (privately to reviewers) and especially immediately after publication.
  • Did the discussion address how their results move the field forwards?
  • Were the citations thorough or were key references missing?
