• in the peak procedure task, when anticipating an event, mutants start responding later than controls, and when terminating the behavior, mutants stop earlier, indicating that mutants use different strategies to time their behavior
• in the switch task test, mutants enhance their performance by delaying the switching from one location to the other during both the light and dark phase, resulting in a reduction of the error rate and indicating altered risk assessment in decision making
• however, time perception is normal

|
• mice subjected to a timed food schedule in constant darkness significantly postpone their food anticipatory activity compared to controls

|
• overall food intake is increased
