FIGURE 2.

Inter‐breeder differences in sound startle response and adaptation. Employing the same sets of mice in Figure 1, we determined the intensity of their startle response (mV) to 120‐dB white noises (A‐C) and adaptation rates of the startle responses (%) to the 120‐dB noises (D‐F). The pregnant mice (C57BL/6J) were purchased from CLEA Japan (A, D), Charles River Japan (B, E), and SLC Japan (C, F). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. See statistical details in Table S1. In the startle intensity, there were an inter‐breeder difference between CLEA Japan and SLC Japan (⁺⁺ P < .01, Tukey HSD) and a sex difference in all breeders (^# P < .05, Welch t test with the Holm's compensation), which was irrespective of the Poly(I:C) effects
