HONEST LME (per-animal random slope, day|rat): interaction F(1,9.8)=9.76, p=0.01107
  (Satterthwaite DF ~= residual on this random-intercept model; the random-slope
   model above is the honest learning-rate test -- DF collapses toward the animal count.)
INTERPRETATION: stim x day interaction SIGNIFICANT positive -- treatment improves FASTER (benefit accumulates) (p=0.003822, slope diff=+10.20)
Paper (N=24): interaction t(227)=2.68, F(1)=7.12, p=0.008.
