NSG1 KO selectively increases diurnal activity. (A) Homecage behavioral monitoring using photocell beam breaks to measure horizontal activity across 48 h. The first 9 h were considered acclimation and excluded from subsequent analyses. There was a highly significant effect of phase (light vs. dark) where animals showed significantly more activity during dark periods (p < 0.0001). (B) NSG1 KO animals were significantly more active than wild‐type animals during the dark phase (p < 0.05), while no difference was found for the light phase (p > 0.05). n = 11 controls and 12 NSG1 KOs
