Figure 2:

offspring performance in tests of anxiety. Male offspring of CORT-treated fathers housed in SH and EE spent significantly less time in the open arms of the maze as compared to the male offspring of control males (A). There were no differences in the overall distance travelled (B). There was no effect of paternal CORT treatment and offspring environmental enrichment on time spent in the open arms of the maze (C) and overall distance travelled by the female offspring (D). Times spent by male (E) and female (F) offspring in the lit half (E) of the light-dark apparatus. n = 11–21 per group. Data presented as mean ± SEM; one-way ANOVA, post-hoc Bonferroni’s t-test * P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001
