Behavioral Testing

behavioralmousePV-Cre/NR1f/f and littermate controls (NR1f/f)

Objective: Assess phenotypic differences in awake mice through behavioral testing

Generate PV-Cre/NR1f/f mice by crossing PV-Cre mice with mice carrying floxed NR1 alleles

Not specifiedNot specified

Note: Littermate male controls (NR1f/f) were used for behavioral testing comparisons

“We generated PV-Cre/NR1f/f mice by crossing of PV-Cre mice with mice carrying 'floxed' NR1 alleles”

Select male PV-Cre/NR1f/f mice and littermate male controls (NR1f/f) for awake behavioral tests

Not specifiedNot specified

Note: Only male mice were used for awake electrophysiology and behavior tests
