FIGURE 5

Neonatal performance on tests of coordination, strength and body righting. Powdered chow-exposed neonates achieved coordination, strength, and body-righting milestones significantly earlier than pelleted-chow exposed neonates. Graphs on the left depict neonatal latency (mean ± SEM) to complete the behavioral task by postnatal day. Graphs on the right depict differences between neonates from the two maternal diet groups in the day of developmental milestone achievement (defined as the day at which the pup performed the task successfully for 2 days in a row). (A) Negative geotaxis test; (B) Forelimb grasp test; (C) Surface righting test; (D) Cliff aversion test. N = 31 powder and N = 62 pellet-chow exposed neonates. p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001.
