Comparison of olfactory and auditory reflex functions in AT mice and their WT littermates. a, Olfactory habituation/dishabituation ability was measured as time spent sniffing a sequence of novel nonsocial (i.e., water, almond, and banana) and social odors (i.e., unfamiliar mouse cage odor) contained in cotton swab tips. Except for banana 1 (unpaired Student's t test, *p < 0.05), all data points were not significantly different between genotypes. b, Startle responses evoked by different sound intensities (80–120 dB). There were no significant differences between the genotypes (n = 8 per group). c, Prepulse inhibition induced by a constant startle stimulus (120 dB, 40 ms), which was preceded by a prepulse (70–90 dB, 20 ms) with an interval (100 ms) between the prepulse and startle stimuli. There were no significant differences between the genotypes. Subjects were 3- to 4-month-old male mice (n = 8/genotype).
