Figure 8.26.3.

Adult male C57BL/6J (B6) and FVB/AntJ mice displayed sociability, defined as spending more time in the chamber containing the novel mouse than in the chamber containing the novel object (A), and more time sniffing the novel mouse than sniffing the novel object (B). Adult male BTBR T⁺tf/J (BTBR) mice did not display sociability, spending similar amounts of time in the chamber containing the novel mouse and in the chamber containing the novel object (A), and similar amounts of time sniffing the novel mouse and sniffing the novel object (B). B6 (n = 12), FVB/Ant (n = 16) and BTBR (n = 12). The asterisks (^∗) indicate p < 0.01 for the comparison between novel mouse and novel object. This figure is reproduced from Silverman et al.
