Behavioral assessments in offspring of infected mothers.

Means are provided for for exploratory behavior, rearing and and anxiety levels in the Open Field, exploratory behavior of a novel object, and performance on an elevated cross maze test of young (post natal day 30) and adult (post natal day 90) offspring of mothers inoculated with control solution (PBS) or infected with influenza A strains A/WSN/33 or A/NC-L/99.

Values represent means ± SEM. Bold values in grayed cells represent p
