Figure 9

Assessment of behaviors 3 days prior to giving birth indicates that females with a history of maltreatment had increased (A) self-grooming and (B) rearing behaviors than females with a normal infancy. n=4–5/group; self-grooming t7=2.44, p=0.0448; rearing t6=3.12, p=0.0205; Student’s two-tailed t tests. (C) Digging behaviors were not affected by prior experience.
