Developmental milestones are delayed in pups prenatally exposed to PPA and LPS (ie. pinna detachment, incisor eruption).(PPA similar to valproic acid- mitochondrial function/gene expression)
** p < .01, *** p < .001: PPA^^ p < .01: LPS
The Microbiome and Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Acoustic startle response: Prenatal PPA and LPS produce hyper-sensitivity to stimulus

Other anxiety-like behaviour also present in PPA and LPS animals.
