Protocol Steps
F0 Odor Fear Conditioning
F0 mice were subjected to odor fear conditioning using acetophenone before conception
Note: Conditioning occurred prior to conception of F1 generation

“We subjected F0 mice to odor fear conditioning before conception”
F1 and F2 Behavioral Sensitivity Testing
F1 and F2 generations were tested for increased behavioral sensitivity to the F0-conditioned odor (acetophenone) compared to other odors
Note: Testing measured behavioral response specificity to acetophenone versus other odors

“subsequently conceived F1 and F2 generations had an increased behavioral sensitivity to the F0-conditioned odor, but not to other odors”
