Effects of prenatal stress on latencies to investigate novel locations, object types, and object/context pairings. Only nonstressed (NS) males showed significantly faster latencies to investigate novel over familiar locations (A) and object types (B), suggesting that prenatal stress (PS) reduces memory for spatial locations in males. In contrast, PS showed significantly faster latencies to investigate novel object/context pairings over familiar object/context pairings, suggesting PS enhances memory for contextual memory in males (C). Latencies to novel or familiar locations, objects, or object/context parings did not differ in PS and NS females. NS females: spatial n=9; object n=8; context n=9. PS females: spatial n=8; object n=10; context n=10. NS males: spatial n=6; object n=9; context n=9. PS males: spatial n=9; object n=8; context n=9. Data expressed as mean ± SEM. Asterisk (*) indicates a significant difference (p<0.05) between groups.
