“…Juveniles were tested for reciprocal social play and open field exploratory locomotion. Adults were tested for social approach in an automated three-chambered sociability apparatus, elevated plus maze and light↔dark anxiety-related behaviors, general health and home cage measures including nesting, neurological reflexes, open field locomotion, rotarod coordination and balance, forepaw reaching for vision, acoustic startle threshold for hearing, prepulse inhibition of acoustic startle for sensorimotor gating, hot plate and tail flick for pain sensitivity, contextual and cued fear conditioned learning and memory, and Morris water maze spatial learning and memory acquisition and reversal, as previously described (Crawley and Goodwin, 1980;Bailey et al, 2007;Crawley, 2007;Crawley et al, 2007;Moy et al, 2007;Yang et al, 2007;McFarlane et al, 2008;Scattoni et al, 2008) and described in detail in the Supplementary Methods. Figure 2A-D documents no significant differences between male genotypes for A) follow (F 2,28 = 0.157, NS), B) nose-to-nose sniff (F 2,28 = 0.087, NS), C) push-crawl-touch (F 2,28 = 2.031, NS) or D) social groom (F 2,28 = 0.337, NS).…”
