Figure 1. Behavioral responses to the Approach/Avoidance Tests.

Figure 1

(A) Exploration: Abused subjects spent a greater proportion of time exploring during the Neutral Object Test (t (1, 17) = 2.253, p= 0.040). (B) Latency to inspect the objects: Abused subjects had a shorter latency to inspect objects (F (1, 14) = 5.442, p= 0.033). (C) Percentage of animals that avoided objects: A smaller percentage of abused subjects avoided the neutral objects (χ2 = 5.3, p = 0.04). (D) Percentage of animals that bit objects: A larger percentage of abused animals bit the fear-evoking objects (χ2 = 5.3, p = 0.04).
