Transient astrocytic Gq activation in the anterior cortex does not affect short-term memory in a Y-maze. (A) WT and strong TG mice were pre-treated with retinal and were put in a Y-maze for 15 min with transient LED illuminations (duration 3 s, interval 3 min, five times) delivered. (B) Percentage of correct arm entries (unique triplets) was not significantly different between WT and TG mice (p > 0.30, Welch's t-test, 7 WT mice vs. 10 strong TG mice), but the variance was higher in TG mice (p < 0.02, F-test). (C–E) Number of arm entries, traveled distance and immobile time did not differ between WT and TG mice (p > 0.37, p > 0.35, and p > 0.73, Welch's t-test; p < 0.05, p < 0.02, and p < 0.02, F-test).
