Figure 4. Behavioral response of PBS- and OTA-injected mice to conspecific and heterospecific chemical signals.

Figure 4

(A) PBS mice exposed to SU spent significantly more time (mean seconds ± SEM) than control investigating the stimulus. OTA-injected mice exposed to CC spent significantly more time investigating the stimulus than both control and PBS-injected mice investigating CC. OTA-injected mice groomed significantly more in the presence of a control collar than PBS-injected mice exposed to control. Also, OTA-injected mice exposed to CC spent significantly more time grooming than PBS-injected mice in the presence of CC. (B) OTA-injected mice exposed to fMU contact the stimulus significantly more than both control exposed PBS-injected mice and PBS-injected mice exposed to fMU. Only PBS-injected mice exposed to CC showed significantly more stretch-attend behavior to the stimulus than control or their OTA-injected counterparts. * indicates significant difference from control; + indicates significant difference between PBS- and OTA-injected mice exposed to same stimulus.
