Figure 2. Phenotypic correlations among behavioral traits. Lower-triangular heatmap of Spearman rank correlations (Rho). Cells show Rho; entries labeled “n.s.” indicate p ≥ 0.05 (two-sided). Full Rho and p values are in Supplementary Table S5. Trait definitions are in Methods Section 2.1. Thick black lines delineate locomotor, EPM, and tail flick trait groups.
