Fig. 5. Comparable negative geotaxis task ability between male and female SMA pups.

Fig. 5

Negative geotaxis task ability is comparable between male (blue) and female (red) SMA pups at each 2-day interval from based on measures of a) time (in seconds) to successful trial and b) time (in seconds) to fail the trial. c) The no attempt to attempt ratio for male and female SMA pups at each 2-day interval from P6 to P16 was not significantly different. A higher ratio equates to less likelihood to attempt the task. d) The success to failure ratio for male and female SMA pups at each 2-day interval from P6 to P16 was significantly higher for males at P8 and P14. A higher ratio equates to a higher success rate. *p < 0.05. For data in panels a and b, multiple unpaired Student’s t-tests with Šídák-Bonferroni method of correction for multiple comparisons were used, and technical replicate sizes are shown in Table 4. For the table in panels c and d, Fisher’s exact contingency tests were used to statistically compare proportions, and biological replicate sizes for c and d are shown in Table 4.
