Pre-injury baseline variable window test for all mice following touchscreen training task. All 24 mice underwent the variable window test, consisting of trials with varying windows of time of 2 sec, 1 sec, 0.5 sec, or 0.2 sec randomly alternating. Pre-injury training on the touchscreen task. Overall, mice were less likely to respond correctly and more likely to respond incorrectly or omit trials during trials with a shorter response window in the variable window test; notably, mice did not answer more trials incorrectly until response window was under 1 sec, but started omitting more trials at when limited to under 2 sec. Mice omitted the same number of trials, around 40%, at the two shortest response windows of 0.5 and 0.2 sec. Statistically significant difference of each phase from the preceding phase are shown (i.e., a significance marker within 10-sec phase indicates difference from 30-sec phase).
