Figure 6. Ethologically-relevant odor directed nose-poking behavior is not impacted by habituation or port spatial location.

Figure 6.

(A) Line graph representing the mean duration of time mice spent nose-poking across all ports as a function of testing day. In this experiment, several cohorts of mice were tested for their investigation towards a panel of 5 ethologically relevant odors. (B) Mean investigation durations for mice (earlier 4 cohorts of 18 mice) in response to non-ethologically relevant odor set 1 and from the present cohorts of mice in response to the ethologically relevant odor set. **p<0.001. (C) Normalized investigation durations of mice (same as in (B)) revealing an effect of testing day on investigation durations towards non-ethologically relevant, but not ethologically relevant odors. ***p<0.0001. (D) The same data from the same mice as in (A), but plotted as a function of port number, with data averaged across all 5 testing days. There was no effect of port location or testing day on mean duration of investigations.
