(A) Schematic of the stride length (distance between successive placements of the same paw). Stride length of forelimbs (B) and hindlimbs (C) was significantly shorter in prenatally treated mice when compared with controls. (D) Schematic of the paw positioning: position of the hindpaw compared with position of the previously placed ipsilateral forepaw. (E) The position of the hindpaw compared with the forepaw is closer in the treated mice at P21 and P41. (F) The forelimbs paw intensity (mean brightness of the pixels of the print) of treated mice was significantly stronger at P41. (G) The hindlimbs paw intensity of treated mice was significantly decreased at P21 and increased at P41. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.
