Figure 6

Parameters of the open field test. (a) Locomotor activity (in meters) of SAL and CRF offspring. (b) Time spent (in seconds) in the centre zone by SAL and CRF offspring. (c) Number of rearing behaviours by SAL and CRF offspring. (d) Locomotor activity (in meters) of CT and LB offspring. (e) Time spent (in seconds) in the centre zone by CT and LB offspring. (f) Number of rearing behaviours by CT and LB offspring. Results are presented as means SEM. * p < 0.05, two-way ANOVA, treatment-effect. n = 10–12 animals per group. SAL, offspring of saline-infused dams; CRF, offspring of corticotropin-releasing factor-infused dams; CT, offspring of control dams; LB, offspring of stressed dams.
