  • Data are arbitrary units expressed as mean ± SEM. All animals in the PPI studies were female.

  • * p < 0.05 compared with pulse alone amplitude in socially reared, vehicle-treated animals.

  • F1-160 p < 0.05 compared with pulse alone amplitude in isolation-reared, vehicle-treated animals. NTR, NT receptor.
