FIGURE 6.
Developmental EtOH exposure impaired performance on the Morris water maze spatial learning task, leading to increased path lengths to find the platform (a), as well as less precise direction of swimming toward the target (increased heading angle; b), whereas EtOH and CP separately increased thigmotaxis during acquisition (c). Only developmental EtOH exposure significantly impaired spatial memory during the probe test, reducing time spent in the target platform area (d). ** EtOH differs sig from sham; *CP > Vehicle
