Summary of exposure durations used in this study.

Assay Start of Exposure End of Exposure Justification
Toxicity 8 hpf 120 hpf Standard toxicity assay that encompasses entire organogenesis period
Larval behavior 8-10 hpf (note: larvae exposed from 8 to 58 hpf exhibit behavioral effects identical to those exposed from 10 to 58 hpf) 58 hpf Narrowest window of exposure that leads to behavioral effects (narrow exposure window provides target organ clues); encompasses peak CNS development
Uptake/tissue dose 8 hpf 58 hpf Intended to closely match the larval behavior test exposure
Adult behavior 8 hpf 120 hpf Encompasses entire organogenesis period; intended to maximize chance of detecting behavioral effects in adults
