The effect of maternal deprivation (MD) and mifepristone treatment (Mif) on body weight. (A) Body weight at postnatal day 26 (PND 26), before the start of mifepristone/vehicle (Veh) treatment. Group sizes: No-MD: n = 24; MD: n = 24. (B) Body weight at 12 weeks, just before the start of the 5-choice experiment. Group sizes: No-MD Veh: n = 8; No-MD Mif: n = 16; MD Veh: n = 8; and MD Mif: n = 16. Graphs represent Mean ± SEM. At PND 26, MD rats weighed less than no-MD rats (t₍₄₆₎ = 3.22, p < 0.01, ${\eta }_p^2$ = 0.18; A) and this difference persisted until the start of 5-choice SRTT training at week 12 (F_(1,44) = 8.93, p = 0.01, ${\eta }_p^2$ = 0.17; B).
