| Abstract | A group of three rhesus monkeys (M. mulatta) whose mothers had been fed 2.5 ppm PCBs (Aroclor 1248) in their diets through gestation and three months of nursing were tested for locomotor activity at 44 months of age. These animals had been hyperactive relative to controls at six and twelve months of age but were significantly hypoactive when compared to the same group of controls in the same apparatus in the 44-month test. Both groups showed within-session activity declines suggestive of reactivity which did not differ significantly between groups either within sessions or in their adaptation over the course of testing. This phenomenon represents a clear-cut delayed and possibly permanent effect of the early PCB exposure. |
