Figure 5. Thigmotaxis measures in a novel open-field (P42) in male and female offspring.

Figure 5

Activity measures were time corrected. Females moved significantly more than males. A: Percent time in the centre of the open-field. Animals in the prenatal PPA treated group spent significantly less time in the centre of the open field than the prenatal 5VEH treated group. B: Number of entries into the centre. There were no significant differences in entries into the centre. C: Total distance traveled (cm/s) in the centre. Male and female offspring in the prenatal PPA treated group traveled significantly greater distances than the 5VEH treated control group. D: Number of vertical movements in the centre. Prenatal PPA treated female offspring reared significantly more than prenatal PPA treated male offspring. Error bars represent S.E.M. Refer to Table 1 for group designations and sample sizes. * p<0.05, ** p<0.01.
