Fig. 2.
Response to the first stimulus and habituation curves. (A and B) Peak ASR to the first presentation of an acoustic stimulus (120 dB) in female (A) or male (B) rats. Sample sizes are the same as the previous graph. Statistically significant increased ASR in PWD females relative to controls is indicated by (*, P <0.05). Increased ASR in control males relative to control females is indicated by (+, P <0.05). (C and D) Habituation curve of the peak ASR to nine consecutive presentations (trial no, horizontal axis) of a 120 dB stimulus in female (C) or male (D) rats.
