Open Field Behavior. Figure depicts total (panel A) and central (panel B) entries made (mean ± s.e.m.) made in the open field of adult male rats that were gestationally stressed or not, and then restraint stressed, or not, immediately before testing in the open field. ^** Above line indicates a significant difference of gestational stress compared to non-gestationally stressed (control) rats (p < 0.05 for main effect and Fisher's PLSD post-hoc tests). ^∧ Indicates a significant difference of acute restraint stress compared to no acute stress group (p < 0.05 for main effect and Fisher's PLSD post-hoc tests). There were no significant interactions between stress variables for performance in the open field.
