The effect of As exposure on the spatial working memory in the recognition place task in male and female mice on PND 90. Discrimination index (DI) = (novel place exploration time/total exploration time). (A) male and female DI of location in the recognition phase and (B) during test phase in controls, animals exposed during gestation and lactation (iAs-PND 15) and animals exposed during gestation, lactation and until PND 90 (iAs-PND 90). Each bar represents the mean ± SE (n = 8). Data were analyzed using an ANOVA. (*) Significantly different from controls after Dunnett’s post hoc test, P < 0.05. # P = 0.0625.
