The three-chamber test was used to assess sociability and preference for social novelty. (a) Time spent in chambers in session 1 (POD1); (b) time spent chambers in session 2 (POD1); (c) time spent in chambers in session 1 (POD7); and (d) time spent in chambers in session 2 (POD7). On postoperative day 1, mice in all three groups showed normal sociability as they spent more time in the chamber containing the caged-mouse (session 1). Preference for social novelty (session 2) was observed in PA-POD1 and M-POD1 as mice spent more time in the chamber containing the new mouse, while PB-POD1 did show a preference for social novelty. On postoperative day 7, mice in all three groups showed normal sociability (session 1) and preference for social novelty (session 2). Data shown as mean ± SEM. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
