NL3R451C mice display increased repetitive behavior in the repetitive novel object contact test. a The arena contained four clearly distinguishable objects, one located in each corner, and the repetition of visitation patterns was recorded as a measure of repetitive/ritualistic behavior. b The NL3R451C mice showed increased repetition of identical object sequences of visitation (four objects) compared to the WT. A four-object visitation sequence could include multiple visits to the same object, provided they were interrupted by a visit to another object. c The NL3R451C and WT mice made a comparable number of total visits to novel objects. Values are displayed as mean ± SEM. Asterisks represent a statistically significant difference between the indicated groups. *p < 0.05; n = 21 mice in each group
