Maternal LPS induced inflammatory response in prenatal/neonatal brains and postnatal amygdala of challenged offspring. Maternal immune activation induces elevated circulating cytokines in the prenatal/neonatal and postnatal CNS (b, c). a Schematic representation of experimental setup. b, c Gene expression was normalized against β-actin via ∆Ct. Results are mean normalized to expression ± SEM (n = 4/treatment group/time point). Significant difference denoted as *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 in post hoc multiple comparisons performed using Tukey’s test following one-way ANOVA
