5-HT deficiency does not affect olfactory perception, sucrose preference, or quinine avoidance in Tph2-KI mice. (a and b) Odor detection threshold of WT, HET, and HO Tph2-KI mice for the two odors isoamyl acetate and octanol. Normalized values are expressed as the mean ratio between time spent investigating the odor and total sniffing time (ie, odor plus mineral oil). Data are presented as mean±SEM (n=8 mice per group). (c and d) Preference/avoidance test in WT, HET, and HO Tph2-KI mice for two different tastes (C-sucrose and D-quinine). Normalized values are expressed as the mean ratio between the quantity of sucrose or quinine drank and total volume of liquid absorbed (ie, water plus sucrose or water plus quinine). Data are presented as mean±SEM (n=17 mice per group). Two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc tests. ***p⩽0.001.
