    This study validated behavioral testing methods for assessing developmental chemical exposure effects. Results show reliable and consistent behavioral measures across labs, crucial for understanding chemical impacts on offspring development.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental toxicology
    • Behavioral teratology
    • Neurobehavioral assessment

    Background:

    • Concerns regarding postnatal dysfunction from developmental chemical exposure prompted this study.
    • Existing behavioral testing methods required evaluation for reliability and sensitivity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the reliability and sensitivity of behavioral testing methods.
    • To assess the impact of prenatal chemical exposure on behavioral responses.
    • To investigate the influence of litter, sex, and prior testing on outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • A standardized protocol, equipment, and procedures were used across multiple laboratories.
    • Methods and chemicals were selected based on established literature criteria.
    • Pilot testing was conducted at the National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR).

    Main Results:

    • Behavioral measures demonstrated consistency within and between studies.
    • Reliable and consistent results were observed across participating laboratories.
    • The study addressed sensitivity, sex, litter, and prior testing experience effects.

    Conclusions:

    • The Collaborative Behavioral Teratology Study confirmed the consistency and reliability of behavioral testing methods.
    • Standardized protocols are effective for inter-laboratory comparisons in behavioral teratology.
    • Further systematic evaluation of chemicals and methods is encouraged.
