After exposure to CRS, Caspase-3/8/9 expression levels increased dramatically in the Hip (F(5,36) = 5.358, p < 0.01; F(5,42) = 7.643, p < 0.01; F(5,18) = 8.259, p < 0.05) and mPFC (F(5,30) = 9.708, p < 0.01; F(5,14) = 6.502, p < 0.01; F(5,21) = 6.221, p < 0.01). Here, CASP3 is linked to congenital rubella syndrome.
