Figure 3From: Motor and cognitive deficits in aged tau knockout mice in two background strainsComplete tau reduction impairs the performance of mice in Pole test at 12 months of age. a) Tau-/- mice took significantly longer time to turn on the pole. Two-way ANOVA: genotype effects (p < 0.0001) but no genetic background (p = 0.255) effects or interaction (p = 0.352). b) Tau-/- mice took significantly longer time to descend the pole. Two-way ANOVA: genotype effects (p = 0.001) but no genetic background (p = 0.377) effects or interaction (p = 0.903). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, versus age-matched wild type mice (Bonferroni post hoc test). n is indicated in the column of each group. Gender distribution is given in Additional file 6: Table S1. Data are means ± SEM.Back to article page
