Figure 3. Integrated Emotionality z-score in corticosterone-treated male and female mice.

Figure 3

(A) Raw data obtained from three independent behavioral tests (OF, EPM and NSF; n=14–22/group) performed in the same animals. (B) Normalization of data using the z-scoring method was performed for each parameter as described in the methods. (C) Test z-values were obtained by averaging individual z-scores, and then combined to obtain emotionality z-scores. Data represent mean ± SEM (n=14–22/group). * p<0.05, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001 for effects of corticosterone exposure compared to the sex-matched non-stress group. § p<0.05, §§§ p<0.001 indicate sex differences within groups
