^aAll animals were rated with a score from 0 to 2 (0 = reflex absent; 0.5 = reflex slightly developed or present; 1 = partially present or partially developed; 1.5 = mostly present or developed; 2 = reflex present or fully developed). Predominant state: 0 = calm, alert, aware; 0.5 = mostly calm with slight agitation; 1 = alert but agitated for no more than half the examination; 1.5 = agitated for more than half the examination; 2 = extremely agitated throughout entire examination. Consolability: 0 = quickly consoled when picked up following examination; 0.5 = consoled after brief period of holding and swaddling; 1 = infant consoled only after prolonged holding, swaddling, rocking, and/or stroking; 1.5 = brief moments of consolation and quiet after prolonged holding; 2 = inconsolable.

^bFrom Wilcoxon two-sample exact tests.

^cData missing for 2 animals in MIA group.
