Effects of VPA treatment and acute Xe inhalation on the behavior of rats in elevated plus maze on pnd 25. Number of head dips (a), center entries (b), open arm entries (c) and time spent (in seconds) in the closed arms (D) were measured within 5 min observation. *p < 0.05 and ***p < 0.001 represent significant differences vs. Control group (Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test), and $—0.10 ≥ p ≥ 0.05 represent trend towards differences vs. Control group (Sidak’s multiple comparisons test). Data are presented as box and whiskers plot. N = 11–14 rats/treatment
