Fracture/cast mice show signs of memory deficit. Schematic representation of the open field apparatus highlighting the habituation (HAB), novel location recognition (NLR), and novel object recognition (NOR) testing configurations (A). Fracture/cast mice do not differ from control mice in the time spent exploring the displaced object (B), but they do differ in the time spent exploring a novel object (C). Schematic representation of the social memory testing apparatus (D). Fracture/cast mice do not differ from control mice in the total time spent socializing with a stranger mouse (E); however, fracture/cast mice do not spend more time socializing with a newly introduced stranger (F). *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001. n = 16 per group. Errors bars = SEM.
