Analysis of learning strategies revealed a spatial learning impairment in LGTV infected wildtype mice. a, b Different searching strategies to locate the hidden platform during the 8 days of acquisition training in the Morris water maze test were assessed. c–d The augmentation of the hippocampus-dependent search strategy (directed search) in control and infected wildtype and Irf-7^−/− mice (n = 7–10) is shown. Two-way ANOVA with one repeated measure and post hoc Student’s t-test using Fisher’s least significant differences was employed to analyze the data. Data are shown as mean ± SEM
