Table 1.

Statistical results (F and p values) and group numbers (n) for Experiment 1. Factorial ANOVA and Newman-Keuls post-hoc tests were used to evaluate changes in gene expression as a function of age at preexposure (using the single-exposure protocol). Gene expression was analyzed in PD17 and PD24 animals following the preexposure (Experiment 1A) and training (Experiment 1B) and in PD31 animals following training (Experiment 1C).
