Female Foxp2^+/– mice display deficits in maternal behavior. To examine pup retrieval, a Foxp2^+/– or ctr dam was removed from the cage and their pups were removed from the nest and placed in a far corner. When placed back into the home-cage, Foxp2^+/– dams displayed a significantly greater latency to retrieve one or two pups than ctr dams (A,B). Additionally, female Foxp2^+/– mice had significantly less pups per litter (C). For (A,B). Trials were repeated two times separated by at least 1 week in two different cohorts (total number of dams: Foxp2^+/– n = 10, ctr n = 13; one litter per dam). p* ≤ 0.05.
