Mice prenatally exposed to VPA show reduced exploration and increased levels of depression-related behavior. a, b Distance traveled in the closed arms (a) and number of rearings (b) in the EPM. c, d Total distance traveled (c) and time spent grooming (d) in the OF. e, f Total distance traveled (e) and time spent (f) in the lit compartment in the LD box. g, h Time spent immobile in 1-min bins (g) and accumulated time (h) in the TST. i, j Time spent immobile in 1-min bins (i) and cumulative time between 3 and 6 min (j) in the FST.
