|
• in the elevated plus maze task, homozygotes spend significantly more time in the open arms and less time in the closed arms than controls, indicating a decreased anxiety level
• in the elevated platform task, homozygotes spend significantly more time in the outer zone and less time in the center and middle zone of the elevated platform
