A In the novel object test, mice were allowed to explore two objects and exposed 24 h later to one identical object and one novel object. Left panel: time to reach 20 s of exploration time (time to criterion) (Interaction: F(1,21) = 0.07123, p = 0.7922; sex: F(1,21) = 0.7263, p = 0.4037; genotype: F(1,21) = 1.383, p = 0.2527).; middle panel: the total exploration time (Interaction: F(1,21) = 0.07502, p = 0.7868; sex: F(1,21) = 0.1348, p = 0.7172; genotype: F(1,21) = 1.005, p = 0.3275); right panel: discrimination index (positive index indicating novel object preference) (Interaction: F(1,21) = 6.929, p = 0.0156; sex: F(1,21) = 0.5055, p = 0.4849; genotype: F(1,21) = 3.314, p = 0.0830). B In contextual fear conditioning, mice were shocked in context A, and compared for percent time spent freezing in context A or context B (left panels) for males (Context*genotype: F(1,20) = 0.3274, p = 0.5736; context: F(1,20) = 14.23, p = 0.0012; genotype: F(1,20) = 4.364, p = 0.0497; subject: F(1,21) = 1.526, p = 0.1763), female (Context*genotype: F(1,20) = 0.2471, p = 0.1127; context: F(1,21) = 88.29, P < 0.0001; genotype: F(1,21) = 0.02413, p = 0.8780; subject: F(1,21) = 2.371, p = 0.0270) differential freezing was compared using a discrimination index (right panel) (Interaction: F(1,41) = 5.532, p = 0.0236; sex: F(1,41) = 9.620, p = 0.0035; genotype: F(1,41) = 0.01023, p = 0.9199). Data represent individual mice, n = 5–13 per group. Statistics: Panel A – Two-way ANOVA with Sidak post-tests. Panel B – Two-way repeated measures ANOVA. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001. Bars, mean ± SD.
