Abstract
Rats born to dams fed a ration low in folic acid and reared to near maturity on the same ration showed inferior maze learning ability as compared to paired controls from the stock colony. Supplementation of the maternal diet with folic acid resulted in offspring which learned as readily as the control animals.Keywords
