Behavioral improvements in Tyro3^−/− mice. (A) Adult Tyro3^−/− mice take less time to detect the submerged platform in a Morris water maze test (see Methods) than their WT counterparts beginning at 3 days of testing. (B) When returned to the training (‘conditioning’) context, Tyro3^−/− mice exhibit enhanced memory recall, as monitored by elevated freezing behavior (left). No difference in freezing is detected when mice are placed in a novel context (right). n is total number of mice tested per genotype. P-values: * <0.05.
