From: Degraded inferior colliculus responses to complex sounds in prenatally exposed VPA rats
The IC response strength to speech sounds is weaker in VPA-exposed rats compared to saline-exposed rats. A Box and whisker plot showing the number of driven spikes evoked at each IC recording site for each speech sound. The driven rate was quantified using the 400 ms duration of the response. The black line indicates the median, and the error bars indicate the 95% confidence interval. The asterisks indicate experimental groups that are statistically significant from each other using a Mann–Whitney U test. The symbols represent the following: ***p < 0.001. B Post-stimulus time histogram showing the IC response to the sound ‘dad’ presented at 60 dB. The sound waveform is plotted behind the PSTH in gray
