FIGURE 6.

Prenatal ethanol exposure (PE) did not lead to an increase in false alarms/trial, regardless of the lengths of hold time. A false alarm refers to an entry into a water dispenser before the onset of illumination of any stimulus light, which is one of the indicators of action impulsivity. A sex difference was observed. Specifically, PE female rats made more false alarms/trial than PE male rats when the hold time was <4 s; a trend of such a difference was observed (p = 0.07) when the hold time was >4 s. Data are presented as Mean ± SEM. ^#p < 0.05, PE male vs. female rats.
