Figure 1. Caregiving behaviors in the home cage vary by group and day.

Figure 1

(A) Timeline for Experiment 1, the shaded box indicates the data that are shown in this figure. All mice were tested for caregiving responses in the home cage on Test Days 1-2. (B-E) Cumulative incidence plots depict the significant effects of reproductive status and experience covariates on pup retrieval latencies. Plots show the proportion of animals completing the retrieval tasks (retrieving first or last pup) at each time point on the X-axis in the home cage. (F-G) Frequency observations (Mean ± SE) of maternal care in the home cage are illustrated during a 15-minute test (60 total observations). Although the total frequency of observations with pups did not vary between groups, there was a main effect of group on the frequency of pup licking and main effects of both group and day on crouching behavior.
