Figure 6. Olfactory habituation and dishabituation in B6 and BTBR.

Figure 6

(A) B6 males exhibited significant habituation to water, dishabituation water to almond, habituation to almond, dishabituation almond to banana, habituation to banana, dishabituation banana to social odor 1, habituation to social odor 1, dishabituation social odor 1 to social odor 2, habituation to social odor 2. (B) B6 females exhbited significant habituation to water, dishabituation water to almond, habituation to almond, dishabituation almond to banana, habituation to banana, dishabituation banana to social odor 1, habituation to social odor 1, dishabituation social odor 1 to social odor 2, habituation to social odor 2. (C) BTBR males exhibited significant habituation to water, non-significant dishabituation water to almond, significant habituation to almond, dishabituation almond to banana, habituation to banana, dishabituation banana to social odor 1, habituation to social odor 1, nonsignificant dishabituation social odor 1 to social odor 2, and significant habituation to social odor 2. As compared to B6, BTBR spent significantly less time sniffing nonsocial odors and social odors. (D) BTBR females exhibited significant habituation to water, dishabituation water to almond, habituation to almond, dishabituation almond to banana, habituation to banana, dishabituation banana to social odor 1, habituation to social odor 1, non-significant dishabituation social odor 1 to social odor 2, and significant habituation to social odor 2. As compared to B6, BTBR spent significantly less time sniffing nonsocial odors and showed trend for sniffing social odors less as well (p < .06, NS). * p<.05 for habituation; # p<.05 for dishabituation. B6 male, N=12; B6 female, N=17; B6 male, N=17; BTBR female, N=17
