Effect of exposure to 1.65G during different developmental periods on cerebellar mass on P12 and P21 (mean ± S.E.M.). Cerebellar mass on P12 was most affected in male neonates exposed immediately after birth (group C). On P21, cerebellar mass was most affected in male and female neonates exposed to hypergravity during the 2nd and 3rd week of nursing (group D), with males being more affected (p<0.0001).
