Table 3.
Open Field (mean ± SEM). a) Active time was increased in B6N/T = 21 mice compared to controls, but no other differences. b) Both strain (B6J > B6N) and photoperiod (T = 21 > T = 24) were present for Distance Traveled. c) Velocity was increased in mice under the 21-hour day compared to T = 24 mice. d) B6J exhibits increased Total Rotations compared to B6N. e) No significant differences for rearing or f) center zone Time. † indicates a T-cylce difference, σ indicates a baseline strain difference, and italics denotes significant pairwise comparison, at p < .05.
