Behavioral Testing
Objective: Assessment of learning, memory, cognition, and anxiety levels in mice at different ages to examine behavioral changes and synaptic health
Protocol Steps
Subject Selection and Grouping
C3-deficient male mice (C3 KO) were compared with age-, strain-, and gender-matched C57BL/6J wild-type (WT) control mice
Note: Testing conducted at three age timepoints: postnatal day 30, 4 months, and 16 months
