Figure 6. Behavioral and emotional effects of CRF receptor blockade in prairie vole mothers.

Figure 6

(A) On lactation day 2, mothers were tested 10 min after central treatment infusion on the elevated plus-maze for anxiety-related behavior, which was significantly reduced in fs VEH mothers compared with both other groups as indicated by less percentage of time spent on the open arms. (B) On lactation day 3, mothers were tested 10 min after treatment infusion in the forced swim test for passive stress-coping, which was significantly increased in fs VEH mothers compared with both other groups as indicated by a higher time spent floating. For further details, see legends to Fig. 1, 2, 4. Data are presented as mean + SEM, n = 6 – 7. ** p ≤ 0.01 versus both other groups.
