Altered self-righting latency in a sex-specific and development-dependent manner following repeated neonatal morphine exposure. In examining the normalized latency to self-right on P4 and P7, RM ANOVA indicated a main effect of treatment (F(1,32) = 49.23; p < 0.001), postnatal day (F(1,32) = 18.61, p < 0.001), and sex (F(1,32) = 8.30, p = 0.007), as well as treatment × sex (F(1,32) = 4.29, p = 0.046) and treatment × sex × postnatal day interactions (F(1,32) = 4.69, p = 0.038). Data from each day were then analyzed separately. On P4, two-way ANOVA indicated a main effect of treatment (F(1,32) = 14.09; p < 0.001), as morphine-treated mice took 8.47 s longer to self-right on average (95% CI for difference: [4.03, 12.91]; *p < 0.001). On P7, two-way ANOVA indicated a main effect of treatment (F(1,32) = 24.24, p < 0.001) and a treatment × sex interaction (F(1,32) = 8.19; p = 0.007) that was explained by significantly longer latencies to self-right in morphine females compared with all other groups: versus saline females (95% CI for difference: [9.64, 27.52]; #p < 0.001); versus saline males ([6.66, 25.36]; %p < 0.001), and versus morphine males ([1.47, 20.71]; $p = 0.02). Morphine-exposed males did not differ significantly from saline control males (p = 0.49) or females (p = 0.12). Data are presented as the mean ± SEM of raw (non-normalized) data.
