From: Transgenerational effects of early life stress on the fecal microbiota in mice

Setup and sample collection indicated across three generations. F3 mice are not direct offspring of displayed F2 mice (indicated by dashed line), but of a subset of F2 mice, which were not behaviorally phenotyped. F1 mice were subjected to elevated plus maze and forced swim tests and F2 mice to elevated plus maze test. Phenotyping group 1 (GR1): behavioral phenotyping before breeding. Phenotyping group 2 (GR2): breeding before behavioral phenotyping. pnd: postnatal day; w- week.
