Figure 8

(a) Representative activity traces from a control and an Ndufs4 cKO mouse in the open field test. (b) Distance traveled to the center in the open field test. (c) Total distance traveled in the entire open field. (d) Ndufs4 cKO mice show increased anxiety in a light/dark exploration test. Data shown are the number of transitions made between the light and dark chamber in a light and dark box. (e) Social interaction is reduced in Ndufs4 cKO mice. Data shown are the time spent in social interactions. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; n.s. not statistically significant.
