Long-term memory of partnership correlates with anxiety incubation. (A) The partner-revisiting test. A stranger mouse (light gray S) and the previously pair-housed partner (light gray P), both immobilized, were presented as social targets. Pink rectangle, heating pad. (B) ParObsIso and ParObsParPH mice showed significantly longer allogrooming or pushing their partners (yellow, % of time spent in partner concern behavior) than either xScenIso, xAggrExpIso, or StrObsIso mice (n_xScenIso = 5, n_ParObsIso = 5, n_StrObsIso = 5, n_ParObsParPH = 5, n_xAggrExpIso = 5). Standard errors were calculated from bootstrapped data. *, 0.01 ≤ p < 0.05.
