[Behavioral alterations induced by post-natal exposure of the rat to lead].
The behaviour of rats exposed to various levels of lead acetate (0.5 ; 1 ; 2 and 4% in dam's diet) before weaning was recorded between 2 and 6 months of age. Higher locomotor and exploratory activities as well as better scores in active avoidance conditioning were observed in the 4% lead-treated rats. For lower doses, no behavioural alterations were recorded despite both detarded growth and increased mortality.
