Deterioration of spatial memory by juvenile BPA exposure. A) Rats after chronic oral treatment of BPA (n = 8 rats, red) or DMSO (n = 8 rats, black) were assessed for spatial memory by the Marris‐water maze test, as shown by B) escape latency to reach the platform after 5 d of training (p > 0.05), C) platform duration (*p < 0.05), D) escape latency (p > 0.05), and E,F) swimming speed and distance (p > 0.05). G) Rats (n = 8 rats per group) were assessed for spatial memory in the Y maze test (without stress punishment or reward), as shown by H) the percentage of duration (*p < 0.05) and I) entry number in the novel arm (**p < 0.01), and I) percentage of entry number in the home arm (**p < 0.01).
