Medium-term memory of male rats exposed to 1.5, 10, or 40 mg⋅L⁻¹ NU from birth for 9 months. (a) shows the time spent exploring one of the two identical objects (left or right objects) during the first session. (b) shows the time spent on the familiar or new objects during the second session. The data are expressed in seconds (s). Results are expressed as mean ± SEM; for each group; NU: natural uranium; , significant difference from familiar object.
