Behavioral data from novel object recognition test and two-trial social memory test. a Schematic diagram of the novel object recognition test. b Novel object discrimination index in the novel object recognition test. c Schematic diagram of the two-trial direct interaction test. d Left: two-trial direct interaction test using the same stimulus mouse in the two trails. Naive mice and sham-operated mice showed decreased interaction time in trial 2 compared with in trial 1, while ION mice showed a similar interaction time (p = 0.139). Right: two-trial direct interaction test using different stimulus mice in the two trails. All groups showed a similar interaction time in the two trails. Data from the NOR test were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and data from the two-trial direct interaction test were analyzed by repeated-measures ANOVA (***p < 0.001 via Fisher’s PLSD post hoc tests). 6 M (males) and 6 F (females) in Normal; 5 M and 6 F in Sham; 6 M and 6 F in ION group (b). Six M and 6 F in Normal; 5 M and 7 F in Sham; 6 M and 6 F in ION group for left panel (d); 4 M and 4 F per group for right panel (d)
