Prenatal stress was found not to affect learning capability in Morris Water Maze in rats, although some difference was revealed in the rats behaviour. 2-month old rats who had been subjected to a prenatal stress, revealed an obvious trend towards less flexible strategy of behaviour and perseveration. At the age of 4 months, the difference between the control and experimental groups becomes negligible.
