Legend. Details and results of statistical analyses conducted for behavioral tests. ANOVA: analysis of variance, WT: wildtype, Mixed ANOVA: ANOVA with a repeated measure (i.e. within-subjects factor) Repeated measures used in the analyses were Target (for the 3-box social interaction test), Trial (for social interaction with a juvenile, visible platform task, rotarod, and locomotor activity), Day (for Morris water maze), Quadrant (for Morris water maze probe trial), and Decibel (for prepulse inhibition). F(x,y): F ratio statistic is used to determine whether the variances in two independent samples are equal, x,y are degrees of freedom (df).
