Animals were feed restricted based on free-feeding weight or amount of feed
Entries without “M” and/or “F” indicate analyses was based on pooling data for males and females
Incremental dosing regimen from 1.0 (PND1–5) to 2.0 (PND6–13) to 4.0 (PND14–20) mg/kg-day
Incremental dosing regimen from 1.5 (PND1–5) to 3.0 (PND6–13) to 6.0 (PND14–20) mg/kg-day
Increase errors (3.2 vs. 2.7 in controls approximated from graph) during 4th week but not first 3 weeks. No overall effect on total working errors at low and mid dose
If statistical analyses or measures were described in methods, it was included and listed as “0” if not reported to be statistically significant
