Impact of Poly (I: C) treatment on the spontaneous activity of female and male offspring of dams. (A) Representative movement trajectories of offspring born to dams receiving different treatments. (B) Total movement distance of female offspring. (C) Total movement distance of male offspring. (D) Movement velocity of female offspring. (E) Movement velocity of male offspring. (F) Duration in the central area of female offspring. (G) Duration in the central area of male offspring. n = 14 in the Female Ctrl and the Male Ctrl groups, n = 12 in the Female Poly (I: C) group, and n = 13 in the Male Poly (I: C) group. Female Ctrl, female offspring born to the control dams; Female Poly (I: C), female offspring born to the Poly (I: C) treated-dams; Male Ctrl, male offspring born to the control dams; Male Poly (I: C), male offspring born to the Poly (I: C)-treated dams. Poly (I: C) vs. saline: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ns, not statistically significant.
