Table 2. Elevated plus maze, marble burying, olfactory sensing, and open field testing in mice.

The performance measurements from the elevated plus maze test, the marble-burying assay, and buried food test for olfactory function are represented by the mean ± SEM from mice with the indicated genotypes, † p < 0.05 comparing M/M to T/T and T/M; ‡ p < 0.05 and ¶ p = 0.07 comparing −/− and +/+.
