Shape preferences of wild type medaka (WT) vs. oHmgn2 knockout mutants (ohmgn2 mutant) in a Y maze with triangles in one arm (blue) and circles in the other (pink). The WT medaka exhibits a preference for triangles over circles, spending more time in that arm of the maze, while the ohmgn2 mutant spends an almost equal time in both arms of the maze.
