Effect of cross-fostering on [3H]norepinephrine release in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of SHR (n = 12 – 14), WKY (n = 11 – 12) and SD (n = 10 – 15). *SHR released significantly more [3H]norepinephrine in response to glutamate than SD or WKY in hippocampus (two-way ANOVA, significant effect of "pup strain" F(2,100) = 52, P < 0.0001, post-hoc Tukey's HSD test, P < 0.0005) and prefrontal cortex (two-way ANOVA, significant effect of "pup strain" F(2,100) = 32, P < 0.0001, post-hoc Tukey's HSD test, P < 0.001). †SD pups released more [3H]norepinephrine than WKY in prefrontal cortex (P < 0.0005). §Significantly greater than SD reared by SHR or SD dams (two-way ANOVA, significant interaction between "strain of dam" and "pup strain", F(4,100) = 2.6, P < 0.05, post-hoc Tukey's HSD test, P < 0.0005).
