Fig. 2From: Spatial learning and memory deficits induced by prenatal glucocorticoid exposure depend on hippocampal CRHR1 and CXCL5 signaling in ratsThe effects of prenatal DEX exposure on spatial learning and memory. Pregnant rats received injection of dexamethasone or vehicle on GD 14–21. Behavioral tests were performed on 12-week-old offspring. a, b The escape latencies by that prenatal DEX or control females (a) and males (b) find hidden platform in the 4-day acquisition trial (c), the time by that the rats spent in the platform quadrant in the probe trial. d, e The swimming speed of DEX offspring and control offspring. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n=12 in each group). *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs control. CTL: controlBack to article page
