Behavior of adult individuals was evaluated using the novel tank test. (A) Total distance moved for the duration of the test was similar between ctnnd2b^+/− and wildtype individuals. (B) Anxiety-like behavior was tested by defining a top and bottom zone of the tank used in the test. Quantification of the distance moved per minute per zone (C) and the number of bottom-to-top transitions during the test (D) showed no difference between genotypes. (E) While no difference in the distance moved per zone was found between females, heterozygous mutant males show a statistically significant increase in the distance moved in the top zone of the tank compared to wildtype individuals. Graphs: mean ± SEM, *p = 0.0252.
