Irp2 ablation impairs search strategy
WT and Irp2−/− mice performance during a Barnes maze task. Training days consisted of four 3-min trials. 90-second probe trials were conducted 24hrs after the last training day. A) proportion of mice able to locate the escape hole, B) mean errors defined as entries into non-escape holes, C) latencies to escape hole (also known as primary latency), D) number of visits to the escape hole, and E) time spent in the target zone. Dotted line in E represents the expected time in target zone due to random chance. *p < 0.05.
