Fig. 3. Right-side whisker trimming in D2 KO mice changed their behavioral preference for AC5 KO pellets. (A-C) Bilateral whisker trimming in D2 KO mice reversed the behavioral preference for AC5 KO pellets over WT pellets. D2 KO mice with whiskers cut on the right side of the face (C), but not the left (B), lost their behavioral preference for AC5 KO pellets. (D, E) siRNA-mediated inhibition of D2 unilaterally on the left side (D) or the right side (E) of the face in D2 heterozygous mice (D2+/-) transiently induced a behavioral preference for AC5 KO pellets. Naive D2+/- mice showed WT-like behaviors in this test. Data are presented as the mean SEM (n=6-9). * and **denote the difference between the indicated groups at p<0.05 and p<0.01, respectively (Student's t-test, or two-way repeated-measures ANOVA, and post-hoc test).
