Prenatal stress induces alterations in cerebellar nitric oxide that are correlated with deficits in spatial memory in rat's offspring

► Prenatal stress induces a disarrangement in offspring's cerebellum. ► We examine the role of cerebellar nitric oxide system in this model. ► We found changes in behavioral parameters. ► There was an increase in nitric oxide synthase. ► Alterations in nitric oxide might be related to an altered behavioral outcome.
