Response rate (number of lever presses per minute) of male (left) and female (right) rat offspring born to dams exposed to either 2, 3, 7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) or 3, 3′, 4, 4′, 5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB126) at three different doses in phases 1, 2 and 3 in the fixed ratio (FR) component. Doses of TCDD were 50, 200 and 800 ng/kg, respectively, and those of PCB126 were 500, 2,000 and 8,000 ng/kg, respectively. Open circle indicates control, empty, gray and black squares indicate 50, 200 and 800 ng/kg of TCDD, respectively, open, gray and black triangles indicate 500, 2,000 and 8,000 ng/kg of PCB126, respectively. Each symbol indicates the mean and SEM of number of lever presses in each ten-session phase. *p < 0.05 (vs. other groups)
