Figure 7. Effects of social defeat in the habituation-dishabituation test.

Social defeat reduced time spent investigating a glass slide with a water droplet (trials 1–3) in both males (A) and females (B). In males defeat reduced, but did not eliminate investigation of novel male odors (trial 4 and 7). Females exposed to defeat did not show a significant increase in investigation time of novel female odors (trials 4 and 7). †, †† Mann-Whitney effect of stress p<0.05 and p<0.01 respectively. *, ** Wilcoxon test versus previous trial (trial 3 vs. 4 or 6 vs. 7) p<0.05, p<0.01 respectively. All data are mean±s.e.
