(C) The amount of time spent sniffing male urine and water is normal in stathmin^−/− females. (D) Organizational skills as tested by hoarding behavior are normal in stathmin^−/− females. (E) The general level of depression or motivation as analyzed in the Porsolt forced-swim test is normal in stathmin^−/− females. Results are presented as mean ± SEM.
