Contact and non-contact behaviors after OT or saline infusions into the CeA of prenatally stressed or unstressed control male rats expressed as a percentage of total social interaction time. The mean percents of contact and non-contact behaviors for each group were compared to those of saline-infused unstressed control rats (n=8). Bilateral infusions of 1000 ng of OT into prenatally stressed rats (n=8) increased contact behaviors (sniffing, crawling over/under) to a level identical to that of unstressed control rats infused with saline. Two other infused doses of OT, 100 ng (n=8) and 10 ng (n=8) were associated with the same significant (*p < 0.01) reduction in contact interactions found in saline-infused, prenatally stressed rats (n=8). Data are shown as the mean percent of total social interaction times ± SEM.
