Statistical differences in AP threshold, half-width, and peak amplitude were determined with three-way ANOVAs. Major effects: exposure (control chow vs prenatal ethanol exposure embryonic day 13.5–16.5), sex (male vs female), and postnatal day (P2, P4, P6, P8, P10, and P14), with interactions: E × S (exposure × sex), E × P (exposure × postnatal day), P × S (postnatal day × sex), and E × S × P (exposure × sex postnatal day). Statistics with p value ≤0.05 are bolded.
