a PPS males experiencing the delay protocol demonstrated enhanced levels of contextual freezing when compared to their control counterparts in a 24 h recall test. b PPS trace protocol males froze significantly less than controls to representation of the CS 48 h after conditioning. c PPS delay protocol females froze more than controls to representation of the CS 48 h after conditioning. d PPS males experiencing the trace protocol froze less post CS and post US on the conditioning day when compared to controls. Con control animals, PPS pre-pubertal stress animals, CP control protocol, TP trace protocol, DP delay protocol. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. Error bars represent 1SE
