Note: Groups consisted of male control (n = 13), female control (n = 8), male prenatal stress (n = 9), and female prenatal stress (PNS, n = 14). Values represent the group mean ± SEM for 5 days of spatial testing.

Indicates a significant difference from male control.

⁺

Indicates a significant difference from female control.

Indicates a significant difference from female prenatal stress (p < 0.05).
