Behavioral data from three chamber test. a Schematic diagram of the three chamber test. b Sociability of mice in the three chamber test. All groups showed preference for a stranger mouse vs an inanimate ball. c Social novelty in the three chamber test. All groups showed preference for a novel stranger vs a familiar stranger. d Social memory in the three chamber test. Naive mice and sham-operated mice showed preference for a novel stranger vs a familiar stranger encountered 30 min ago, whereas ION mice showed similar investigation time (p = 0.421). Data were analyzed by repeated-measures ANOVA (**p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 via Fisher’s PLSD post hoc tests). Results are expressed as mean ± SEM. 7 M (males) and 4 F (femals) in Normal; 5 M and 6 F in Sham; 6 M and 6 F in ION group
