Social competitiveness and plasticity of neuroendocrine function in old age: influence of neonatal novelty exposure and maternal care reliability.

We found no evidence that average maternal LG was correlated with novelty scores for competition wins ( r = −0.184, p = 0.694, n = 7), and we found a marginally significant but negative correlation between the average amount of maternal LG and the novelty scores for CORT habituation ( r = −0.559, p = 0.051, n = 11; Fig. 3B ).

This power difference may explain why the correlation between maternal care variability and CORT habituation reached statistical significance while the correlation between maternal care variability and competitive success was of a similar direction but did not reach statistical significance.
