  1. Results of 3-way ANOVA of time spent in open arm (A), % time spent in open arm (B), % open arm entries (C), and time spent in closed arm (D), total travel distance (E) with sex, maternal separation (MS), and previous inflammation (TNBS) as 3 factors were shown. *P < 0.05, **P = 0.001, and ***P = 0.0001
