Fig. 7 cntn2 mutants exhibit swimming deficits.

(A) Swimming assay and analysis. (B, C) Distance moved and moving duration are compared between cntn2+/− heterozygote and MZcntn2−/− mutant larvae during Lights off (B) and Lights on (C) phases. There were significant differences between cntn2+/− (n = 43) and MZcntn2−/− (n = 27). MZcntn2−/− larvae moved less than cntn2+/− siblings during both lights off (unpaired t-test, *p < 0.05) and lights on (unpaired t-test with Welch's correction, **p < 0.001) phases (B, C). MZcntn2−/− larvae also moved for shorter duration compared to cntn2+/− siblings during both lights off (unpaired t-test, *p < 0.05) and lights on (unpaired t-test, **p < 0.001) phases (B, C). Error bars show Mean ± SD.
