Protocol Steps
Morris Water Maze Testing
Mice were tested in a spatial learning task using the Morris Water Maze to assess spatial learning performance and long-term memory retention
Note: Shank1-deficient mice displayed enhanced performance in spatial learning task but impaired long-term memory retention
